Dr. Gustavo Salgar, who was characterized as a front man, died in the last hours from the COVID-19 coronavirus. His nonconformity and concern about the situation in Cúcuta had been expressed to a local media in September:
What the hell do they call us heroes for? Heroes of what? From a city that, for the capital of the country, we are Venezuelans. They see us as the butt of this country. Everybody falls and falls, what about the government? No there is no government
His brother, also a doctor, was already in the ICU of the San José clinic fighting COVID. “My countrymen are dying, that’s what matters to me, Colombians are falling one and the other. Thank God my brother is leaving, ”he said on another occasion.
Dr. Salgar fought, but could not get ahead. With the, there are already 28 health workers who have died from COVID-19 in the department from Norte de Santander.
The medical union, which remains in mourning, asks for strict quarantine from December 25 to January 7 to reduce infections in Cúcuta, a city that has seen several specialists die.
However, there is still no response from the civil authorities, who maintain a night and peak curfew and ID, a measure that most citizens fail to comply with.
