The dean of the Medical College of Peru (CMP), Miguel Palacios, pointed out that the number of people infected with coronavirus (COVID-19) in the country shows a decrease and that this situation occurs particularly in the city of Lima.
Palacios indicated that, due to this drop in the number of infections, the State had to lift the state of emergency earlier, which continues until June 30.
“We see that there is a decrease in the number of infected people, the number of cases is decreasing, especially in Lima, the death rate as well, that is why we maintain that several days ago the quarantine had to be lifted “, dijo a RPP.
It should be noted that the Minister of Health, Víctor Zamora, reported this Saturday that all the districts of Lima already marked a decrease in cases of COVID-19 infections.
However, the head of the CMP explained that, after the quarantine ends, the “three golden rules” must be maintained: constant hand washing, use of a mask and social distance.
Likewise, he reiterated his proposal to apply a focused state of emergency, in which infected people are identified for isolation.
“What you have to do is be vigilant and apply an intelligent and focused quarantine, isolate the group of infected people and enhance the first level of care”he added.
