SOUND BITE: GOVERNOR OF THE PROVINCE OF CHIMBORAZO, LUISA LOSA (IN SPANISH).TRANSLATION: We have to evaluate the situation and make decisions based on what the experts said. It's unlikely to think that nothing happened in this area and that they could return (home), no. It was the experts and the engineers who give directions on which step we should take. And of course, it's impossible for residents to return to their homes at this moment.
