In the removal of the corpse, the medical personnel were infected. There are already 21 cases registered in the archipelago.
The cargo ship arrived from Cartagena to supply the island with food and its crew was infected with COVID-19 without knowing it.
The number of people infected with coronaviruses on the island increased alarmingly due to the contact of the crew of this vessel with personnel from the Ministry of Health and men from the Navy.
Everth Hawkins, Governor of San Andrés, expressed that: “Now we have to increase the measures and the curfew will be done for days starting at 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. There will be no more exercises, neither one hour nor half an hour, and everyone will have to wear a mask.
The government asked the Villareal Clinic to suspend the performance of rapid tests, because the results of the crew initially came out negative and also indicated that the Cartagena authorities did not comply with the protocols with this vessel.
Julian Davis, Secretary of Health of the island, stressed that the authorities of La Heróica “should not have allowed that crew to get off the ship and arrive at their house knowing that in Cartagena there is an important focus.”
In providence, where there was no case, this Tuesday four people were reported infected by contact with the crew when unloading food.
The government asked the port captaincy to remove this vessel from the bay and take it to a point far from the other vessels to avoid the spread of the virus.
