Despite the Calbuco volcano remaining active as of Saturday, authorities have downgraded the likelihood of another major eruption.

A great part of Latin America has been affected by the eruptions, as ash clouds from the volcano resulted in the cancellation of a number of airline flights.

Rodrigo Alvarez, the head of the National Mining and Geology Service, stated that Calbuco's seismic activity had changed and that they no longer expected any additional eruption to exceed the two previous blasts that occurred on Wednesday and Thursday, according to the Associated Press,

Alvarez did, however, stipulate that the volcano was likely to remain active and said that more eruptions were still a possibility.

People in the area of the volcano, which is about 620 miles south of Chile's capital, are cautioned to keep on using masks or handkerchiefs in order to prevent breathing in the volcanic dust. Officials have further warned against drinking water from surface springs that could have been contaminated by the falling volcanic ash.

Rodrigo Penailillo, Chile’s Interior Minister, has stated that the government would compensate farmers affected by the volcano for losses suffered from the eruptions. As reported by the BBC, many people in the town of Ensenada, which is located in the foothills of the Calbuco, have lost their homes as well as their livestock and now say that they might have to leave the area completely.

Aside from agricultural farming, fish farms were also affected by Calbuco, as ash fall ended up choking thousands of fish in their tanks.

In the wake of the volcanic eruptions, more than 6,000 people have had to be evacuated from the area. Authorities are keeping up a 12-mile exclusion zone around the still active volcano.

Before last week's eruption, Calbuco had been dormant since 1972.
