“We have seen in the last seven days a decrease of 6% in the number of cases and in the last fourteen days a decrease of 5%”, said this morning the Undersecretary of Public Health Paula Daza, during the report of the coronavirus situation in the country.
Despite this, the authority pointed out that “in the last two days we have seen an increase in the number of cases which we have to look very cautiously ”.
Daza stated that this situation could be due “To an effect of the holidays of September 18 where those days people did not consult or take tests and therefore, it may be that during the week those people consulted and this effect was produced in the increase in the number of cases ”.
The undersecretary stressed that “today we have reached a record of exams, yesterday more than 38 thousand PCR tests were reported throughout the country “, adding that positivity reached 6% at the national level, while in the Metropolitan region it reached 5%.
Meanwhile, the Undersecretary of Assistance Networks, Arturo ZunigaHe recalled that as of Monday there will be many communes, mainly in the Metropolitan region, that will advance in Paso a Paso.
For this reason, he called to bear in mind that “taking one step does not mean that the virus has disappeared, but rather that the opposite, the virus is in all regions of the country and it will be so for many more months ”.
In that sense, the undersecretary remarked that it is important to “follow the recommendations of the World Health Organization, that is, learn to live with this coronavirus, learn to use masks permanently, to wash our hands frequently throughout the day and to physical isolation ”.
