In the Government of the province of Concepción an active search for covid-19 cases is underway, after the governor Julio Anativia test positive for coronavirus.

The seremi of Health, Héctor Muñoz, referred to the situation of the authority, since he was in contact with other people during inspections in the framework of National Holidays.

One of the activities carried out included the participation of the Carabineros de Tomé, where an official who was with the governor also tested positive for coronavirus, although both presented symptoms the same day.


In this regard, the seremi explained that the Government is conducting an active search for cases of covid-19, since after confirming the contagion of the governor, the case of an official who was placed in isolation at the beginning of September was also considered for being close contact with a person infected with the virus.

According to the investigation carried out by the health authority, the woman ended the preventive quarantine on September 16 without showing signs of the disease, however, it is not ruled out that it has been asymptomatic and therefore there would be the possibility that it has infected other workers of the public institution.
