ICovid Chile, an initiative led by the University of Chile, the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and the University of Concepción, presented its tenth report with analysis and data on the dimensions proposed to monitor the pandemic in the country, which revealed a special concern for the transmission and burden of active cases in the north and south of the country.

According to the measurement, cargo levels remain high in 13 of the 16 regions of the country, with increases in new cases, mainly in La Araucanía.

The academic from the University of Chile, Eduardo Engel, explained that “when comparing the last week with the previous one, the number of new cases at the national level rises from 8.23 ​​to 9.96 per 100,000 inhabitants. At the regional level, the highest increase is observed in La Araucanía, where new cases grew more than 50 percent “.

Along with this, it was observed that “the regions of Arica and Parinacota, O’Higgins, Maule, Biobío and Los Lagos also show significant growth and statistically significant “.

Mauricio Canals, an academic from the School of Public Health of the University of Chile, stated that “all regions remain with transmission values ​​in ranges that include values ​​greater than 1. Arica and Parinacota, O’Higgins, Maule, Biobío, La Araucanía, and Los Lagos have increased the burden of infected, but Magellan, although it has decreased, still maintains the highest burden. “

“Traceability remains an issue, with less than 35 percent reporting early. Although early consultation and the proportion of those informed to the Minsal show a slight improvement, there are very worrying cases such as La Araucanía that also has high transmissions and loads, “he said.
