Carla Vizzotti , the woman who every day leads the reports from the National Government on the coronavirus pandemic, revealed this Sunday that in the coming days there may be a strong increase in Covid-19 cases in Argentina and explained why .
"We are looking very precisely at the issue of therapies and the deceased, since in this context in which there is community circulation and also many active searches, when they begin to be confirmed by clinic and epidemiology, the increase in mild cases may increase strongly the number of cases, "he said in dialogue with TN.
In this way, the official explained that since there is a greater number of tests in community transmission areas, with the specific search in certain sectors, the positives will be many more in relation to the tests that are carried out daily.
Faced with this situation, Vizzotti warned that there should be no alarm and that the most important thing continues to be the number of available beds and the number of deaths. "We have to look carefully at the places where the health system is beginning to have tension and where the risk of not being able to respond, " he said.
"That is the point we set ourselves to continue working, it is one of the reasons why Argentina has one of the lowest mortality rates per million in the region," he added.
The head of the Health Access area also said that "work is being done not only on increasing beds and respirators, but also on training doctors from other specialties to respond ."
"There are places where coronary units were transformed into intensive therapies. But you have to be vigilant because as the number of beds increases, no matter how much the beds are, there is also the work team that has stress, that has contagions , so It is a situation of a lot of attention, "he said.
And he made it clear that people "do not have to get infected" and that "they should minimize the possibility of becoming infected" because "the consequences that it can generate in people are not yet known . "
"There are articles that show that there is a significant number of people who have cardiological sequelae. The biggest message is that we do not think it is a nonsense . It is necessary to generate evidence and have a response. That is why we should not get it," he concluded.
