The Minister of Public Health, Daniel Salinas, explained at that time that the health authorities expect a “similar behavior” to that in the world, that is, a “very strong” increase in cases despite vaccination, although with particular characteristics. .

On November 1, Uruguay opened its borders to anyone who has completed the vaccination process (14 days have passed after the inoculation of the last necessary dose).

In addition, this country eliminated the obligation for tourists to undergo a PCR test to detect the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus one week after entering.

Regarding vaccination, according to the web monitor developed by the Ministry of Public Health (MSP) until 23.07 hours (02.07 GMT on Sunday) this Friday, 2,676,877 people (75.55% of the population) completed their immunization guidelines of the Chinese pharmaceutical companies Sinovac, the Anglo-Swedish AstraZeneca and the American Pfizer.
