“We had a lot of pressure last week, the weekend was relatively good in the hospital. We are all awake. We want the cases to go down.” As a people we have done very well, but we must be prepared to have a difficult winter, “he said. Gaga.

“In the last 15 days we have not gone up, we have not gone down. The number of cases is such that it is capable of dispersing. “It seems that the effort is made by the highest percentage in the world, but we are facing an unprecedented pandemic, we must not relax,” he continued.
