The President of the Republic Francisco Sagasti on Friday announced that his administration will leave 50 million vaccines against COVID-19 for the next government —which will take office on July 28, 2021— to continue immunizing citizens.


"We will leave the incoming government, on July 28, with 45 to 50 million vaccine doses and maybe a little more, if the negotiations proceed well as we hope will be the case," he expressed.

Likewise, the top official stressed that an administration can govern honestly, developing projects without causing any noise.







On the other hand, Mr. Sagasti stressed that Trabaja Peru (Work, Peru) Program has already started in Amazonas region —a measure designed to restore historical monuments and generate inclusive social employment.
