MEXICO CITY.
Hugo López-Gatell, undersecretary for Prevention and Health Promotion, reiterated that the country must prepare for a long pandemic of covid-19, which could extend in some entities until October, whose national midpoint will be in July.
A midpoint would be in the first fortnight of July, here I am not referring to the Valley of Mexico, but for the whole country. The set of epidemic curves would take us to a midpoint, where the maximum daily load of cases would be, and then a decrease until reaching October, ”he indicated.
He stressed that in cities like Tijuana infections are already declining, while in Monterrey they are still reported on the rise. In the Neoleonense capital, the end of the pandemic could be declared until the middle of October.
Yesterday, in Mexico, the number of accumulated cases of covid-19 rose to 133 thousand 974, due to the fact that in a day four thousand 790 more cases were reported. Of these, 20,832 are active cases and 55,700 are suspected.
Deaths increased to 15,944, as a result of the 587 deaths recorded in the last report.
And while the country remains at “the level of maximum risk of infection”, the Valley of Mexico is the area where the greatest number of deaths from coronavirus and accumulated and active cases are concentrated, which are considered the engine of the pandemic, because they happened in the last 14 days.
