(Uruguay).- At the beginning of 2021 and in the search for new business verticals, a new alliance with Xpider Digital arrives. This international marketing agency, based in Costa Rica with offices in the UK, the US, Colombia and now in Peru through Team Seven, specializes in performance marketing and has the great differential advantage of developing its own digital tools and having some franchised.
The provisions, which are in force since March 23, include the suspension of all public shows, parties and social events, the closure of non-essential public offices, and the closure of casinos dependent on the Ministry of Economy and Finance ( MEF). As of this week, the closure of gyms and border free shops no longer applies, which have returned to activity.
The resolution comes amid the peak of covid-19 cases since the epidemic began in Uruguay. This Wednesday, Uruguay had 36,121 people suffering from the disease, and about three weeks at the head of the world ranking of daily deaths from covid-19, in relation to the population.
The authorities had also decided to stop the process of returning to face-to-face education, which had reached less than half of the students from kindergarten to high school.
The coordinator of the Honorary Scientific Advisory Group (GACH), Rafael Radi, said in an interview published this Thursday by the weekly Search that one cannot "be dogmatic" in the health strategy.
"In short, it is not touching a little thing or another little thing or another little thing. If you want to do this, you have to turn off. Bye. Because today the circulation is so great that if you close one thing and not the other, what you block here is It takes you there. Although we at one point suggested that the measures could be staggered, but it was not enough," he said.
