On the subject, the Minister of Health, Rosario Turner, said that thanks to the ‘great support of the population it has been possible to achieve this first goal, but there is still a second goal, which many countries have not yet been able to overcome,’ she said in reference to a resurgence of the contagion. An analysis made by the health team last March, kept in reserve until yesterday, estimated that by May 2 those infected would be between 24 and 122 thousand, the deaths from 240 to 1,224, in intensive care would be from 151 to 987 serious patients, as part of a total of 422 to 2,764 hospitalized.
The reality moved away so dramatic prognoses thanks to an aggressive action of total isolation and sanitary cordons, which allowed that the numbers until yesterday were of seven thousand 523 positive cases to the virus, of them, 210 died, 823 recovered until the moment, while 88 remain in intensive care.
‘The speed has been slowed down, and that has given us time to be better prepared and have better treatments that have allowed us to change the course of the disease,’ expert Rodrigo De Antonio said at a press conference. He said the epidemic will be overcome when 60 to 70 percent of the population is immunized.
