Listen to Interview José Carlos Ruiz Vicente, General Director of Public Health at Play SER
Dr. Vicente has commented on the data that throughout the week we are learning about the incidence of coronavirus in the Region of Murcia and whose age of those infected is increasingly lower. Without going any further, among others, right now in the UCIS of Murcian hospitals we find admitted with 31 or 41 years.
The general director of Public Health has said that it is a pattern that is repeated nationally and that it may be due to the little awareness that young people have of the coronavirus. “Older people have protected themselves better. But the youngest are beginning to fall“They go out more and protect themselves less.
The main element of security in the face of COVID-19 is the individualized behavior of each one because the entire population is at risk, although some with more intensity than others, and from the Department of Health they emphasize the numerous meetings, regardless of their nature, because that is where risky behaviors occur.
The health authorities insist that as long as there is no vaccine, “we will live with the virus” and, consequently, “we have to prevent each of us from preventing us from the ordinary unfolding of our lives. We do not have to be afraid, but we do have responsibility and action. That is the approach for the next few months. “
