He seremi of Health, Héctor Muñoz, called on the community to stay home, comply with the measures and only leave the home if they have the respective permission, since the risk of contagion is high considering that Bío Bío has two thousand 144 assets. Concepción has 400, followed by Talcahuano with 189, while Coronel and Hualpén have 177 people each.
The health authority stated that after two weeks of confinement in Concepción, Talcahuano and Concepción the indicators have not improved. “We have to wait a while, there is a slight drop in cases (…), but secondary outbreaks may appear in the next few days.”

Tomorrow there should be clarity in the Minsal on what measures will be taken in Curanilahue, Mulchén and Saint juana, faced with new cases and high incidence rate compared to other communes.

However, the recommendation is difficult to comply with, especially when the incivility of the Region is present every day with about 100 detainees for breach of Curfew, similar amount to circulate without permission in quarantine zones. Therefore, the seremi He stressed that they will hire a hundred more tracers for the quarantined areas and support the education of the population.

The situation has led to the preventive sending of patients from Bío Bío to other regions, an average of four per day, to have a range of critical beds available to the community that goes to the emergency room for other pathologies.
However, the control of the pandemic it gets complicated, because 13 shoots from Regional and four from Las Higueras, seven private centers with outbreaks are added, “involving about 118 active cases.”
