Covid-19, its evolution, tendencies and prognosis of the epidemic in the province of Holguin were the focus of the weekly exchange between Governor Julio Cesar Estupiñan Rodriguez and experts facing the present pandemic situation.
It was learned that the province has accumulated more than 40,200 positive cases since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020.
Likewise, there has been a decrease in imported cases, but the number of indigenous cases has increased by 33%, where the municipalities of Cueto, Antilla, Banes, Frank País and Sagua de Tánamo face the most complex situation.
In this regard, the Governor suggested to focus the visits to those municipalities to advise the specialists and control the compliance with the indications, and called attention on Mayari and Urbano Noris.
Even so, the province is experiencing a plateau with the reduction of cases by 25%, and that in some health areas a decrease is observed, as in Alcides Pino and Julio Grave de Peralta in the city of Holguín.
The increase in the number of tests to detect the presence of the new coronavirus stands out, because at the moment there is a dispersion of the disease throughout the province.
Dr. Katia María Ochoa, Director of Provincial Health, explained that as there has been a decrease in the number of covid-19 where in the on-call bodies of the province, the beds of isolation centers and benches in the consultations enabled for this service are being collected, nevertheless, they are being kept in those places for any eventuality.
The National Bus Terminal was given as an example, which served as a low-risk care center.
It was suggested that the data be taken again for comparison with this month's data.
It is encouraging that there is a decrease in the number of patients coming to the emergency services, however, it is necessary to continue with the community screening because there are people who are late in coming for consultation, which complicates the treatment if they are positive for covid-19, another sign of the lack of risk perception.
It was also learned that the province is waiting for the arrival of members of the Henry Reeves brigade prepared to face contingencies.
When it becomes a reality, they will reinforce medical attention in Mayari, a municipality where, by the way, there has been a drop in the number of serious cases.
