Firstly, the Vice Governor of the province, Yunia Perez Hernandez, gave a wide information about the complex panorama that the territory is living with the increase of positive cases of Sars-Cov 2 in the last days.
Pérez Hernández explained that since March 2020 Holguín has accumulated more than 17 thousand positive cases of COVID-19, spread in its 14 municipalities, especially in Moa, Cueto and the provincial capital city, where the highest incidence of the disease is reported.
It was known that the municipality of Holguin reported 335 positive cases out of 541 in the province on August 3rd, therefore, the most complicated of the territory, in spite of the strengths, but also weaknesses, rightly pointed out in this exchange.
In the debate, the problems that directly affect the compliance with the protocol for the care of patients suffering from the disease were addressed.
In this regard, Marrero Cruz assured that there are organizational deficiencies in the compliance with the protocols established to stop the spread of the pandemic, especially in the classification of patients and the care of those who remain at home.
For this reason, the Prime Minister inquired about the measures applied in the municipality of Holguín, in order to learn about compliance with the stipulated measures, especially the reduction of the population's mobility after three o'clock in the afternoon.
Likewise, the real capacity of hospitalization and isolation, the permissibility in the entrance and exit of means of transport to and from the city of Holguin were assessed.
Marrero Cruz wondered how it is guaranteed that the population is not on the streets after the required time, as well as the attention required for home admission, on which he affirmed there are insufficiencies.
In this meeting, attended by the First Secretary of the Party in the province, comrade Ernesto Santiesteban Velázquez, it was considered that control has failed.
The actions to confront the COVID-19 in this eastern territory, which is going through a complex epidemiological situation with a progressive increase in the spread of the SARS CoV-2 virus and confirmed cases of the disease it causes, must be more effective.
The government and health authorities considered that the reduction of mobility throughout the day was necessary as an effective measure to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
In a very critical debate, the difficulties of the territory for the strict control of the infected people were analyzed, as well as the poor functioning of some Health Areas.
Therefore, the analysis of the difficulties that directly affect the fulfillment of the protocol of attention to the patients suffering from the disease.
The Minister of Public Health, Dr. José Ángel Portal Miranda, acknowledged that the situation in the province of Holguín is complex and that it could get even worse if action is not taken quickly.
Holguin today reported 541 new positive cases of SARS-CoV-2, nine deaths due to this disease, eight from the provincial capital city and another one from Moa.
The meeting, held at the headquarters of the Provincial Party Committee, was also attended by the political and governmental authorities of the 14 municipalities.
The Government and the Holguin Party have been visiting the medical attention centers to verify the progress of the fight against Covid-19, as well as entities of the territory that have joined the compatriots who attend patients or suspects in assistance or isolation centers.
Among them, the Empresa Integral de Servicios Automotores (EISA-Holguín), the UEB Acorde Holguín and the Héroes del 26 de Julio agricultural implements factory have responded to the call to repair as many beds, wheelchairs or companion chairs as needed in the Cuban Health System in the province of Holguín.
