In addition, the inhabitants of the residential area, located in the west of the Santander capital, asked the city’s Health Secretariat to carry out medical tests to determine if there are more people infected by the virus.
The request arises because several of the residents of the sector knew and were in contact with the man who died of COVID-19 infection in Romero Park on Friday, April 17.
This is a flower vendor who worked near the Central Cemetery.
Sonia Ortega, a resident of the area, told Blu Radio that she knew the deceased for a lifetime, while speaking of the fear they feel for the spread of the virus.
“We are panicking because he walked all over this block […] he went to the stores, [en contacto] with the people around him. “
Ortega told the station that there are several people with pre-existing conditions that may be at risk from the virus. He mentioned a person with thrombosis and a lady with a heart condition. “The neighborhood was in a panic when we heard the news”he reiterated.
The radio station, citing members (who did not identify) of the community, said that, so far, “the Ministry of Health has not been to the neighborhood, and the Bucaramanga Cleaning Company has also not come to clean the streets, walls and platforms. ”
On the other hand, Teresa Rodríguez, friend of the deceased, said that due to his trade, he I had contact with several people on the streets “, reason that increases fear.
However, authorities have already activated the epidemiological fence after the death of the flower seller, according to Vanguardia.
In addition, the regional media recalled that those who were in contact with him they must inform the health agencies.
Javier Villamizar, Santander’s secretary of Health, quoted by the newspaper, said that “if the patient is alive when the case is confirmed, he himself explains with whom and where he was. In case you are deceased, the fence is made with the family ”.
