Bogotá registers 30% of the cases of coronavirus
nationwide and 56% of ICU beds are occupied, a figure that has not been seen since September.
That is why the medical unions say that in the capital “we are not exempt from a collapse in the health system, we hope that August does not happen, where we had very high intensive care occupations”, in the words of Hernán Bayona, President of the College of Physicians of Bogotá.
And they worry that the lines and the crowds are not only presented in San Victorino.
Bayona warns that “there are many shopping centers that do not control capacity and we have seen long queues to enter certain chain stores.”
Against this background, the mayor of Bogotá, Claudia Lopez
, reiterated that the most urgent thing to correct is “self-care. Maintain the use of a mask, hand washing and distancing ”.
And so that there are no tears of sadness in the Christmas season, the capital president made a recommendation: “Anyone who wants to see their parents, with their grandparents, should isolate themselves eight days before December 24. From next Wednesday, people who want to be in a small family gathering, with ventilation, with ventilation, with masks, in any case should be isolating themselves so as not to put their mothers, fathers and grandparents at risk ”.
Regarding the possibility of re-decreeing sectored quarantines or throughout the city, the mayor said that this has not been contemplated, but “that depends on whether we do our job” of self-isolation and self-care.
“That this Christmas does not end up costing the life of the parents, the mothers or the grandparents,” he stressed.
