Hugo López-Gatell Ramírez, head of the Undersecretariat for Prevention and Health Promotion, said yesterday that he had warned for months that the COVID-19 epidemic would last at least until October in Mexico.
“Since February we said to prepare for a long epidemic, which will last until at least October 2020. We have this long epidemic because it is the beneficial consequence of having reduced daily infections, instead of a big curve, we have fewer cases for more time ”, he explained.
“We have said it on multiple occasions: prediction is valid if conditions such as reduced mobility are met. If mobility is not reduced, there are more cases, more infections and more pressure on hospitals, “he added.
