Nammu - here one of the places that has had the worst incidence of cases is Punta Arenas, a city in the far south of Patagonia. They were in lockdown (phase 1) for a while, but the situation wasn't really improving. It's pretty cold down there even now, so it seems to be a lot of people meeting together inside that keeps the rates high. Businesses got sick of the restrictions and restaurants began to open anyways. What did our government do? Send them into phase 2. I guess in a way it was to encourage them to do outdoor dining, which is allowed during the week in phase 2. However that does set the precedent that you will be rewarded by simply ignoring the restrictions.
