“Until further notice, scheduled flights from … Chile, Brazil and Mexico will be suspended,” the statement said. A similar policy is already in effect for flights from Britain.

This administrative decision emanates from the Chief of Cabinet, Santiago Cafiero, and increases the restrictions announced last March 13, in which there were already reductions in air frequencies with Brazil and Chile, among other countries.
