Regarding patients with the disease in maximum care, the Secretary of Access to Health, Carla Vizzotti, specified that 34.3% are in the province of Córdoba, 31.9% in Buenos Aires and 4.9% in Santa Fe. Meanwhile, bed occupancy in Neuquén is 95%, in Río Negro it is 90%, in Tucumán it is 86% and in Mendoza it is 82%.
At the head of the federal report issued by the national health portfolio, Vizzotti provided detailed information on the evolution of the number of infected by region during the last 15 days, where the decrease can be seen in some provinces, a "high" stability in others , and increases in the rest.
Through a map, the official highlighted in green, for registering fewer positives compared to the previous 15 days, the City and the province of Buenos Aires, Jujuy and Salta.
Those provinces
"have had declines
, that does not mean that the problem is solved or that there is not a high number of cases," he clarified.
In addition, he highlighted a "
stability in large urban centers
where we had an accelerated increase", such as in Santa Fe, Córdoba and Mendoza.
These jurisdictions, according to information from the Ministry, are experiencing "high stability" but slowing down.
Meanwhile, a number of provinces continue to see increases, although it is necessary to differentiate those that have been growing for several weeks, such as Tucumán or Neuquén, from others such as La Pampa or San Juan, which are on the rise in recent days.
Vizzotti commented that what is known about this virus is that it is easily transmitted and that "measures must be sustained" to minimize its spread.
