00:02 | Puerto Maldonado (Madre de Dios region), Sep. 11.
Defense Minister Jorge Chavez supervised the implementation of the
Territorial Aid Operation for Treatment and Isolation in Response to COVID-19 (Tayta Operation) running until September 12 in Madre de Dios to assist the vulnerable population in said region.
The minister was joined by Joint Command of the Armed Forces Chief Army General Cesar Astudillo and Air Force General Commander Rodolfo Garcia, with whom he inspected —along with Madre de Dios Governor Luis Hidalgo— the intervention in the city of Puerto Maldonado.
This intervention consists of early detection through screening and clinical diagnosis, early treatment with medicines approved by the
Ministry of Health (Minsa), as well as home isolation of infected people and their family members, to whom the
National Civil Defense Institute (Indeci) gives a basket of non-perishable food so that they can cope with the quarantine period.
The interventions in the capital of Madre de Dios take place in the following places: Puerto Maldonado's Main Square (September 10, 11 and 12), as well as Jose Abelardo Quiñones (September 10 and 11), and La Pastora (September 12) educational institutions.
Tayta Operation is simultaneously performed in Amazonas region, in the provinces of Chimbote and Huarmey (Ancash region), as well as in the districts of Comas, Independencia and Los Olivos (Lima Metropolitan Area).
Since its launch, on June 1, 2020, Tayta Operation has carried out 183 interventions in various regions of the country and benefited around 137,000 vulnerable people.
Moreover, 210 districts across various regions are expected to be intervened by the end of 2020 in order to assist 400,000 people.
