“If it is not necessary to solve something outside the home today, you can wait, if it is an emergency, of course you have to leave the house. A medical emergency, buying food, caring for a relative in need, but if they can be scheduled for later, let’s pass them on for later, ”he said.
Through his official Twitter account, he recalled that all public spaces where people gather for a massive event, be it cultural, sports or political, «must be avoided.»
A large part of the work, he pointed out, involves the concentration of people in closed spaces, which can be a source for many infections, «so, one could simply make people disperse, individually keeping a healthy distance.»
“But even more can be done, there are many jobs that do not require people to be physically on site, to do it at home. In addition, there are works that if suspended or postponed do not significantly affect the function of private or public companies, «he said.
