The Minister of Health, Enrique Paris, reported that Chile went from being in a pandemic to entering a “endemic”, due to the presence of COVID-19 throughout the territory.
As indicated by the Secretary of State, the concept “endemic” was used because “the virus circulates chronically and remains within limits of between 1,400 and 2,000 new cases.”
“Fortunately, we have not passed the two thousand new infections per day”added.
Paris stressed that meetings with the world’s leading laboratories seek to speed up the possession of a coronavirus vaccine.
Asked about the possible agglomerations that could be registered in the country one year after the start of the social outbreak, the authority emphasized that “the people have the right to demonstrate”, but that these must be calm and respecting sanitary measures.
“We ask that it be without violence. It is not necessary to destroy. Hopefully they are done while maintaining social distance and a mask “, he sentenced.
