The regional president of the Medical College in Valparaíso, Ignacio de la Torre, he assured that “The contagion of coronavirus is out of control” in the port city, because despite the quarantine that governs the commune, the figures “far from starting to decrease, continue to increase and in an unprecedented way.”
In conversation with Cooperative, the regional president of the union reported that currently in Valparaíso “Only 60 percent of positive Covid patients can identify who, how, when and where infected themIn the rest, in 40 percent, we have no idea where they were infected. “
“Experts say that when you have less than 90 percent of secondary cases, you lost control over the contagion of the pandemic,” he explained, noting that if this information is not available, “how can we take direct action on that area.”
“We have been in quarantine for 10 days and the figures in Valparaíso far from beginning to decrease, continue to increase and in an unprecedented way“, he stressed and asked for universal help for citizens, since he indicated that currently in Valparaíso there are about 50 percent of people who work informally and cannot stay locked up in their homes.
In addition, he announced that the region surpassed a “regrettable” record: “This month of March is the month where there were more deaths from coronavirus in our region“said de la Torre.
“The problem is that nowadays we talk about quotas and we forget what the reality is: critical beds have long since exceeded their capacity, because we have already exceeded all the number of beds that we would normally have,” adding that to despite all the critical bed transformations “even so we still have patients in the emergency room waiting to enable a bed “.
