The strong aftershocks that rocked the Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins region in Chile led the government to declare state of emergency in that part of the country. But the areas affected by the February 27 earthquake are returning to normal, with roads open and access to all the affected populations. Telephone and electricity service has also been almost fully restored. The Ministry of Health has managed to restore health care services and for the time being, the demand is being met.
