MEXICO CITY
By overcoming 44 thousand deaths from covid-19 and about to pass the barrier of the 400 thousand confirmed cases, the Undersecretary of Health, Hugo López-Gatell, recognized that one of the lessons left by the pandemic is that “public health systems, free, with universal coverage are required”, that allow facing this type of attacks to the health security of people.
On day 57 of the new normal, the Health Secretary reported that in 24 hours, 4 thousand 973 cases and 342 deaths were registered, reaching a total of 395 thousand 489 confirmed cases and 44 thousand 22 deaths.
In this context, López-Gatell called on the population to be clear that there are no certainties on the behavior of the epidemic, since the rebound has to do with a complex phenomenon of social behavior, so that society and government must be prepared to ” go forward and go backwards ”.
It is expected that when misconduct comes, there will be rebounds and decisions must be made and where it is required to decrease mobility, this could be that some entities will go to red lights, it has already happened, at the most recent traffic light, several states they turned red having been orange.
So nobody should be surprised, it is frustrating, yes, it definitely is, because one would expect, one would like to have progressive control of the epidemic that would allow an opening of social and economic activities, “he said.
To an express question about Mexico City, he explained that in each of the federal entities the pattern will be seen in which there is a lack of confidence, activities are opened and a rebound can be presented, which will require making timely decisions.
