The mayor of El Bosque, Sadi Melo, questioned the Ministry of Health for keeping his commune in quarantine, a measure that has been in force since last April 16.
“El Bosque stands out in each of the Epidemiological Reports and in the Indicators of the National Testing and Traceability Strategy. From our perspective, we believe that El Bosque complies with the sanitary requirements to move to phase 2 of deconfinement,” said the community chief .
“Our neighbors say they feel virtually blocked, on an island, since all neighboring communes have been coming out of quarantine, and we will serve 150 days of confinement, having complied with all the requirements of the health authority,” insisted Melo.
According to the mayor, El Bosque currently has a 6% positive rate of PCR tests, which would be lower than other neighboring communes that did advance to the Transition phase.
“In addition, we have managed to trace 100% of the active infections that exist in the commune. That is, the same indicators of the health authority show that the situation in El Bosque allows us to think about a step to the phase of disarray” , reiterated Melo.
Little communication with El Bosque
For the mayor, it is “unfortunately, we tried to communicate with the Minister of Health to explain why we have not been considered to go to phase 2 and we had no response from the authority.”
“We are fully certain that our municipal health team has been deployed throughout the commune, especially in sectors where there is a population at risk, carrying out more than 800 PCR weekly, far exceeding the goal that the Ministry of Health gave us, that are 172 exams, “he said.
