“Now I would like to give some advice that exceeds our powers, but that today, in the government of Montevideo, in our cabinet, we have evaluated that we could only talk about generic phrases “Take care”,” we go out together” It’s true, but it seems to me that at this very special time of year, we can contribute something more.

And these tips, at such an important time for us, the holidays are approaching, the end of the year, Christmas, it is time to meet loved ones, they are not the most sympathetic advice. But they are not forever. Everything that we in our life have been learning is okay, everything nice, getting together, sharing, we will have to put it in mode as well. We have to work on a change of habits, and a change of habits without causing us to fall into cultural isolation.

So, here are, with total humility, some advice from the Municipality of Montevideo. That they are things, that we are not going to go out to control, but that as the government of Montevideo we have the conviction that we must communicate. But we have to have the intelligence and the courage to understand that these habit changes are not forever. This Christmas we are going to have a deep spirit of solidarity. The pause is part of that mood, it is not forever. It shouldn’t be forever if we get it right.

Go to the places that you cannot postpone, for reasons of urgency or seriousness. Everything you can suspend, suspend it. If you go to work, and later you want to go to a friend’s house, don’t go.

In Christmas shopping, which we all know is a walk, an important moment, shopping and choosing for loved ones; we are going to transform it into an errand. Plan it before, everything you can buy online or by phone, do it by those means. And if not, go buy right what you have that, think before, chose before leaving.

On a day-to-day basis, if you can buy in your neighborhood, the better. If you need something from the store, the mini-market, the pharmacy, the supermarket … if you can buy it online, better, and if not, call by phone, ask them to put your order together and go out to find it and return.

If you go to a bar or restaurant, try to stay seated at your table for as long as possible. Try not to be more than an hour. Do not get together with friends to watch games, to watch movies.

If you go to the fair, go, buy what you need and go back to your house, or to your work.

Try not to hang out with people who are outside of you every day, to keep the circle of contacts you have under control.

And if you go to a place that does not comply with the protocols, go and report it to 2901 00 06, which is the area of ​​the IMM that we receive these reports.

Citizens we have ourselves and we have the most powerful tool that a People can have, our legacy, our history of building solutions “à la Uruguaya”, our seriousness, our responsibility and our concern for the other in the most difficult moments. Like when there was the tornado in Dolores, that all of Uruguay, no matter the condition, helped. Well, we are experiencing a tornado, an invisible tornado, which is difficult for us to see and we have to stop it.

We are going to go out, but we are going to carry out these little tips and all the tips that you may have to talk with friends, with family and so that this is a Christmas and holidays, a new year, of reflection, so that we can party later.

Thanks a lot”
