Quarantine is at this point a matter of State in an Argentina alert to the coronavirus crisis. President Alberto Fernández himself insists that he will personally enforce it, if necessary, and describes those who seek to avoid it as "imbeciles". His opinion is not known about the crazy journey of the Spanish Juan Cruz Román Abad , who escaped from his quarantine in the depopulated province of La Pampa to take a plane at the Ezeiza airport and return to his country.

The Argentine press pointed to Román Abad, a 62-year-old businessman, as part of a group of four hunters - three of them Frenchmen - who escaped from their quarantines and were intensively sought in recent days by the Ministry of Health and the Police. from the province.

Argentina established a mandatory 14-day quarantine a week ago for people arriving from countries with circulation of coronavirus, and that includes all European countries. La Pampa, a province in the center of the country that is divided between the Patagonian steppe and the confines of the humid Pampa, attracts hunters from all over the world year after year, who pay comparatively much cheaper permits than in Europe . Forty of them comply with the imposed quarantine, but four escaped, including the Spanish.

"Román Abad arrived at his Los Caldenes field in Cuchillo Có , southeast of La Pampa, and did not respect the isolation. Last week he was notified and promised to abide by the measure. On Sunday, after a phone call that warned that the Spanish citizen had violated the quarantine, police and health personnel went to the field. But Román Abad was not in that preserve, "reported the local newspaper La Arena .

Román Abad had a flight back to Madrid for the 22 of this month, but managed to advance the trip in violation of the law. The administrator of the Spanish-owned field was arrested on Monday and quarantined after confirming that "he would have taken the Spaniard in a car to the Ezeiza airport where he took a plane." The 40-year-old man who helped Román Abad escape could be sentenced to between six months and two years in prison. The Spanish businessman, if he returns to Argentina for the next hunting season, could have at least similar problems.
