The decision of the president of the capital of Tolima was known this Wednesday afternoon, when the city’s health secretary, Jhoana Ximena Aranda, reported, quoted by Tolima Alert, that the city is about to go to a red alert for the occupation of ICU beds.
This medium ensures that, at present, in Ibagué there are 208 beds in ICUs, of which 162 are already occupied. Of those, 61 are used by coronavirus patients and 24 more for suspicion. 77 more beds are with patients with other pathologies in the capital of Tolima.
“These worrying figures show that the occupation of the Medicádiz, Asotrauma and Avidanti Clinic reached 100%, generating a worse alert because we are one step away from entering a red alert”, Said Aranda in the regional media.
In this context, the mayor of Ibagué said on Caracol Radio: “The safest thing, what we are already working on is that on October 31 there will be no celebration of Children’s Day. We have to protect our children, we have to protect our adults. Therefore, we are not going to allow crowds that day ”.
The councilor of that city Javier Mora said in Tolima Alert that “the protocols that are going to be implemented in shopping malls and other places where events to celebrate Halloween day should be reviewed with great rigor by that date”, and warned that No crowds should be allowed, but rather the application of restrictive measures.
“We are in a major economic revival, but we cannot allow our children to get sick“Added the lobbyist in the same medium.
Another councilor, Julián Serna, said in the regional news that It is essential to take measures to further avoid risk in this COVID-19 pandemic crisis that lives the capital of Tolima.
“Here more than forbidding parents to go out on October 31 with their children, new measures must be adopted, but above all raise awareness because COVID-19 is not a game. It is a virus that kills. So if we love our children, let’s avoid taking them out onto the streets. You can celebrate from home, from the block, ”Serna recommended.
