Around half of Chile’s 50-member senate and four ministers have been placed in quarantine after coming into contact with at least three colleagues infected with the novel coronavirus, officials said Monday, as jobless protesters in a poor area of Santiago clashed with police to demand food aid.that they had tested negative for the virus but were in quarantine until a second test is conducted.
At the end of last week, around 20 legislators began isolation after meeting with Pizarro and another infected senator. Last week, the government imposed a total lockdown on the capital Santiago, which has recorded more than 80 percent of the country’s 46,000 cases. There had also been 478 deaths as of Monday.
“It is not because of the quarantine. It is aid, food, what people are asking for right now,” Veronica Abarca, who lives in El Bosque, told AFP.
