The Minister of Health, Enrique Paris, indicated that the entire country registered an increase of 19% in cases recording the last seven days, being Magallanes the only region that presented an improvement.
Paris referred to the new strain of coronavirus detected in the United Kingdom, stating that it is also detected through PCR tests and “It is a variant that has no evidence of being more clinically aggressive and does not affect the efficacy of vaccines either.”
