Bogotá once again registers average numbers of daily contagion and active cases, as happened in the middle of the year, in the midst of the first peak of the pandemic.
One of the thermometers is the intensive care units: in less than five days the occupation of these critical care beds went from 60.7% to 65.7%. In other words, today the capital has 1,099 beds occupied with patients who require mechanical ventilation.

There are 1,674 ICUs available at a crucial time and just days after you begin to see the reflection of family gatherings, novenas and crowds in the Christmas store.
Another important edge is the total occupancy of the ICU for other pathologies other than COVID, which already reaches 75%, an indicator that begins to turn on the alarms, since increasing oxygen deprives the health system and availability of the resource destined for patients with coronavirus.
The country registered a record number of infections on December 25: 14,941 and this is Bogotá:
- Monday, December 21: 1,217 cases
- Tuesday 22: 3,439 cases
- Wednesday 23: 5,214 cases
- Thursday 24: 4,748 cases
- Friday 25: 4,219 cases
In the case of deaths, this has been the behavior this week:
- Monday, December 21: 39 deaths
- Tuesday 22:56 deaths
- Wednesday 23:43 dead
- Thursday 24: 58 deaths
- Friday 25: 56 deaths
After a meeting between Mayor Claudia López and a group of epidemiologists on the impact of measures such as the peak and ID, and restrictions on the sale and consumption of liquor, the president maintains the measures.
For now the peak and plate restriction will not be lifted.
