The Minister of Health said, on Blu Radio, that Bogotá had been dropping COVID-19 infections “consistently”, but with the demonstrations of September 10 and 11, there were several peaks that now have the authorities on alert.
“What corresponds to us [el Ministerio de Salud] is to make the respective warning. […] Definitely any agglomeration and mobilization generates effects. ‘The stick is not for spoons’, we are not in a situation where we no longer have infections, and any eventuality like this is going to generate very negative problems for us; the evidence is already there, “said Ruiz.
The official’s statements coincide with what Claudia López wrote on Twitter, where she pointed out that “the mathematics of COVID does not forgive. Exactly 14 days after the riots of September 9, 10 and 11, On September 23, 24 and 25, we had an increase in cases“.
14 days is the incubation period for COVID19. After 14 days of large crowds for any reason #DiaSInIVA, disturbance or march always increase the cases. Let’s not forget that the pandemic is there and that not taking care of ourselves risks the social and economic reactivation of all

A similar situation occurs in Cali and Medellín, where even Mayor Daniel Quintero seems to have relaxed with the measures against the coronavirus, because he held a massive party to celebrate the birthday of his youngest daughter.
For the same reason, the Minister of Health warned that if the protests continue, as is scheduled for October 21, the situation would be more worrying.
In addition, Ruiz launched an alert for the mobilizations that indigenous people plan to carry out, heading to the main cities. The minister said that these populations do not have major effects, but by moving to places where contagion levels are higher, they could contract the virus and take it to their cities of origin.
“We can not prohibit issues that are not our source, but the warning, very clear and very precise, of the negative effects that we can have for this type of situation, as well as for any type of agglomeration“, He concluded.
