The Minister of Health, Jaime Mañalich, He expressed his concern about the increase in infections registered in the last day.
Yesterday, Wednesday, the Ministry of Health reported that until 21:00 on Tuesday, 2,660 new cases of coronavirus were registered, which set a new record for daily cases, far exceeding the 1,658 record of the balance of the previous day.
In an interview with La Tercera, Mañalich stated that he is Intensely concerned, because we have designed an advance of the answer that I thought was going to be more necessary towards the month of June. We have had to advance it to May ”.
In this sense, he maintained that the “extreme measures” seek to reduce the number of daily infections to less than two thousand.
“I am distressed and concerned that we jump rapidly from 300 to an average of 700, and from there to an average of 1,400. This report today (yesterday Wednesday) is very worrying and means that more work needs to be done, ”he told the morning.
The minister maintained that if they fail to make the population understand the seriousness of the situation and continue to trust that there is a military officer in every corner or that permits will continue to be reduced at the virtual police station, they are “resting on a pillar that is fragile, very weak “
Regarding the situation of the Metropolitan regionJaime Mañalich indicated that once the restrictions were lifted, people’s behavior “was not desirable”, since even parties were held in departments and clandestine, which meant “enormous risk potential”.
Likewise, the minister referred to the socio-political context in which the pandemic unfolds and pointed out that “telling people to trust what the State tells them as correct conduct is very difficult.”
“That background of lack of mutual trust played a trick on us in the fight against this pandemic ”he added.
In this context, he explained to La Tercera that “I believe that we have not been able to find a mechanism for dialogue with citizens that is transparent and in good faith.”
The authority pointed to the mayors and maintained that it is not easy when a “public agent” is in a morning every day “not finding anything good”, since there are no collaborative reactions.
However, he acknowledged that he sees reciprocal trust with the mayors “better aspected” than a few weeks ago.
