Carlos Iván Heredia, director of the Territorial Health, stated that the increase is due to the fact that the tests carried out increased, which allows identifying more asymptomatic cases to isolate them. “If the EPS commit themselves by doing more tests, the more positive we find and we can isolate them so that they do not infect more people,” said the director.
