The death of Daniela Rojas Muñoz, an eleventh-semester student of the Medicine program at the Icesi University and a resident of the Valle del Lili Foundation, would not be related to the coronavirus.

This entity assured in a statement that Rojas’ death on Tuesday “is not related to the Covid-19 pandemic or to his academic activities.”

According to the Foundation, “the statements in another sense that are circulating on social networks only misinform and harm their family and academic community.”

The departmental health secretary, María Cristina Lesmes, pointed out that the young woman “had an infection from another cause and dies as a result of this infection, it is not related to the coronavirus.”

Meanwhile, this Wednesday the Ministry of Health confirmed the death of two city doctors by Covid-19. They are two men, a surgeon and a general practitioner, who died in intensive care units due to illness.
