The Ministry of Health (Minsal) has announced that vaccination will commence in the the areas with the highest health risk. This was announced by the Minister for Health, Álvaro Erazo, who received the field hospital donated by the Brazilian government (destined for Cerro Navia) accompanied by Julio Montt, the subsecretary for Relief Networks. Subsequently both visited the field hospital donated by Cuba (in Rancagua) and the army field hospital (in Talca).

The supply of drinking water to strategic points has been prioritized in the region of Valparaíso, as well as the shipping of aid to Juan Fernández. Food parcels and emergency housing are being handled. Among other items, the following have been received by Juan Fernández, Villa Alemana, Quilpué, San Antonio and Valparaíso: water tanks of various capacities, hydraulic pumps, sleeping bags, mattresses, blankets, satellite telephones, and generators.

Finally got my house in a livable condition. I have 2 bedrooms with a full bath with clean, hot water, wifi connection and a discounted line to the states(basically my upstairs) as well as laundry facilities. If anybody needs to come in from out there and regroup, feel free to contact me.
