After ongoing protests, the Bolivian government has temporarily waived the planned vaccination certificate for entering supermarkets, banks, universities and other places with closed premises from January 27. Health Secretary Jeyson Auza wrote on Twitter on Wednesday:
“The National Strategic Council has suspended the submission of vaccination cards and PCR tests for the duration of the public health emergency.”
At the beginning of January, the council declared a state of emergency in view of the new corona wave.
However, parts of the population opposed the introduction of proof of vaccination.
Recently, numerous people in several cities took to the streets to protest.
