The Minister of Health, Jeyson Auza, pointed out at a press conference that a government council determined “the suspension of the presentation of the vaccination card or negative PCR test for Covid-19.”
Auza explained that this decision was made “after listening to various sectors.”
The government of President Arce decreed that as of January 1, the use of the vaccination document was mandatory to enter public and private offices and for land and air travel.
On January 6th, he determined a pause until next January 26th, due to the fact that Public immunization centers collapsed in the face of a huge influx of people demanding their doses against the coronavirus.
In recent weeks, the claim of anti-vaccine groups and neighbors who oppose the requirement of the immunization card and demanded to annul the government regulations has arisen.
Even on Tuesday there were street clashes between neighbors opposed to the use of the vaccination card and the police, in a neighborhood of the city of Cochabamba, center of the country.
The Arce administration’s decision drew harsh criticism.
The governor of the department of La Paz, Santos Quispe, pointed out that the Executive power “unfortunately is going backwards, to avoid conflicts.”
Bolivia is at the peak of a fourth wave of infections and to date has accumulated 774,220 infected and 20,370 deaths.
