The Minister of Health, Enrique Paris, warned this Wednesday in the balance of the coronavirus a explosive increase in covid-19 cases in the Metropolitan region, which is in phase 2 of the Step by Step plan until at least January 4.
This contradicted what he himself said on Monday, when he declared that the effect of the application of said measure was being felt.
The Secretary of State indicated during today’s balance sheet that in the last 7 days there was an increase of 45% in cases of coronavirus in the capital, marked by clandestine parties that yesterday they even left 203 detainees.
“This situation is worrying and we call on the inhabitants of the Metropolitan region to comply with sanitary regulations and prevent the spread of the virus, “he said.
However, he was wrong. Minutes later, he himself acknowledged on Twitter that he actually the increase was 8%, which was corroborated by BioBioChile.

In addition, he condemned and asked to end the unauthorized celebrations, such as the one that occurred yesterday in the Broadway space, where people have participated who in their opinion “have totally ignored health recommendations, have defied authority and are going to endanger the lives of their families.”
“These people are going to get the virus to their father, mother, grandfather and grandmother, and those people are going to get sick or dieHe added.
Therefore, it indicated that “we can’t be inspecting throughout the Metropolitan region and throughout Chile ”.
According to the latest government balance, during the last 24 hours, 1,961 new cases of covid-19 were added in Chile, 560 from the Metropolitan region.
