Director of Digital Government of the Digital Agency for Public Innovation, Eduardo Clark García Dobarganes, reported this Tuesday on the situation of the pandemic in Mexico City, and assured that the rebound in coronavirus cases due to the Omicron variant that is recorded has not been reflected in the general bed occupancy, far from beds with a mechanical fan.

The official indicated that people who are being hospitalized for Covid-19 or suspected of it in Mexico City stay for less time in hospitals, unlike the hospital residence of the previous waves, “throughout the pandemic, on average the residence hospital, the average days of stay in a hospital for Covid patients, ranged between 13 and 11 days, since the beginning of the increase in cases due to the Omicron variant, we see a different circumstance in which people now spend an average close to the 8 days, ”he said.
It reported that most of the hospitalizations registered in the City are of people who have not been vaccinated. He explained that last Monday there were 130 hospitalized patients, of which 99, that is, 76%, had not applied any dose; 6 of the patients, that is, 5%, had only one dose, and 19%, that is, 25 patients, already had their two doses.
Regarding the hospitalized people who have their complete vaccination schedule, the CDMX Secretary of Health, Oliva López Arellanosaid that these people mostly have other diseases or uncontrolled comorbidities.

On the other hand, the Secretary of Health of the CDMX, Oliva López Arellano, indicated that the new variant of Covid-19, Ómicron, has the character of being much more contagious than other variants, but that fortunately so far has not generated the same proportion of hospitalizations as in previous waves, “mainly because the vast majority of the population already has the complete vaccination scheme and the booster app in different age groups, “he said.
The secretary made a series of recommendations to prevent the continuation of the increase in Covid-19 cases. The indications are:
- If you have symptoms (sore throat, cough, heavy nasal discharge, fever, hoarseness), whether or not you are vaccinated, you should isolate yourself for 7 days.
- Oxygenation should be checked, if it is above 90 and there is no respiratory distress or high fever, avoid going out for a test Covid test, given the intense transmission of this variant
