Svarch explained that thousands of health professionals have already been hired, and many of them have been sent to different hospitals in different states of the Republic, now that the stage of hospital retraining has begun for several days.

Coronavirus in Mexico: 94 deaths and 2,143 confirmed cases
The Ministry of Health offers a daily conference at 7:00 p.m. where it reports the progress of COVID-19 in the country
April 5, 2020


The Ministry of Health reported that the number of patients with coronavirus in Mexico rose to 2,143 and the fatalities associated with this disease is 94. This was reported in the press conference on Sunday, April 5

During the conference that takes place daily at 7:00 p.m., Hugo L?pez-Gatell, undersecretary of prevention and health promotion, also specified that after the period of isolation of different patients who had confirmed positive for COVID-19 , around 25% no longer represent a risk of contagion, since they have already healed from the disease. He also emphasized that, so far, the probability of dying from COVID-19 is 0.074 per 100,000 inhabitants; however, he invited the citizens not to trust themselves, because according to SSa calculations, he expects Mexico to enter Phase 3 of the pandemic between two to three weeks.

The mean age in confirmed cases is also 43 years, and the range is from 0 to 91 years. Most cases continue to occur in men, with a 58% incidence, while in women it is 42% percent. These numbers resemble that of the European population; however, Mexican metrics do not lose sight of the characteristics of the national population.

This, because Mexico has one of the highest populations in diabetes, hypertension and overweight, factors that can aggravate the symptoms of COVID-19.

He also stressed that deaths related to the disease have one or two aggravating factors.

The World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that the main factors that can aggravate symptoms in individuals are chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, respiratory problems, being overweight, belonging to the demographic of older adults, pregnancy and having the immune system. committed. The latter may be due to immunosuppressive treatments, such as those to which cancer patients or people living with HIV / AIDS are subjected.

Likewise, the WHO continues to insist on social isolation to reduce the epidemic curve and, in this way, prevent the health services from collapsing due to an excess demand generated by a saturation of patients in a very short period.

In Mexico, the federal government implemented the National Sana Distancia Day, which promotes social isolation and includes a period from Monday, March 23 to Thursday, April 30. This strategy is based on four strategic axes.

The first of these is to spread basic hygiene standards, where promoting healthy distance, etiquette sneezing and proper hand hygiene is paramount. The next section is the suspension of non-essential activities, this in order to avoid exposure of individuals in their usual chores and in the transportation inherent in them. The third point consists of the rescheduling of mass concentration events, for this point, different shows have been canceled around the entire republic. The latter expresses the special attention that older adults and anyone who is susceptible to COVID-19 attacks should have.

In order to define what essential activities are, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Labor disseminated the information regarding this point of the National Day of Healthy Distance. Both secretariats published that everything that does not coincide with the following five points, is automatically classified as non-essential activity:



1.- Activities to attend to the emergency (doctors, paramedics, comprehensive health services, supply of medicines, pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical equipment, health technology, sanitation, etc.).

2.- Public security, sovereignty and national defense, law enforcement and justice, and federal and local legislative functions.

3.- Fundamental sectors of the economy (financial, collection, energy, food, self-service stores and markets, children's rooms, private security, telecommunications, the media and funeral services).

4.- Government social programs.

5.- Everything related to the maintenance and repair of the basic services infrastructure (drinking water, electricity, gas, etc.).

Mexico City is the one with the most positive cases in the entire Republic, with 609 cases. It is followed by the State of Mexico, with 261 patients, and Puebla, with 156, which has already surpassed Jalisco, an entity that was consistently among the places with the most infected people.

Among fatalities, three quarters are men (75%) and one in four deaths are women (25%). The highest number of deaths is concentrated among those over 54 years old, especially those over 65 years old.

In addition, the health authorities urged the population to stop the attacks against medical personnel, as has recently happened in different states of the country. "They have no justification, it is even more outrageous when it comes to health professionals, because they are in the first line of work facing the epidemic," said Under Secretary of Health, Hugo L?pez-Gatell.

In addition, L?pez-Gatell ruled out that, due to the social distancing measures taken in recent weeks, the public transport service will be reduced. "There is no need, because it would be adverse: it would lead to more people crowding together at the stops and on the platforms, it is not a useful measure," said the official.

He also referred to the possibility, mentioned by the country's president, Andr?s Manuel L?pez Obrador, that Mexico receive the support of medical personnel from Cuba, as Italy did at the time.

There are various international and health care foundation offerings - all have been put up for consideration and analysis. In due course make a pragmatic decision

In addition, L?pez-Gatell specified that in Mexico there are doctors, nurses, and nurses, but not enough. "The OECD itself (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) documented that we do not have enough personnel under ordinary conditions, especially now in an emergency like this," he said ....

National Guard surveillance in hospitals ruled out

In the case of assaults on medical personnel, Hugo L?pez-Gatell, Undersecretary for Prevention and Health Promotion, indicated that there are different elements on the part of the federal government to guarantee the safety of people and equipment.

L?pez-Gatell ruled out that elements of the National Guard are going to reinforce surveillance in hospitals and clinics, since he pointed out that the attacks against staff are being carried out on public roads, not in health centers.

"There is no plan to militarize the country," he emphasized. "It is very alarming that there are people who are channeling feelings such as fear and anger towards the personnel who protect them," he said.

One of the last incidents recorded against medical personnel occurred in an IMSS clinic located in the Azcapotzalco city hall, in Mexico City, where relatives of a person who died of coronavirus attacked doctors who were preventing them from approaching the patient to avoid infections.

This caused the CDMX Secretariat for Citizen Security (SSC-CDMX) to deploy its elements in six hospitals and clinics in five city halls where coronavirus cases are treated.

Coronavirus in Mexico: 296 deaths and 4,661 confirmed cases total
Every day, the Ministry of Health broadcasts the progress of COVID-19 in Mexico at a press conference at 7:00 p.m.
April 12, 2020

The Ministry of Health (SSa) reported that the number of coronavirus patients in Mexico rose to 4,661 and the fatalities associated with this disease is 296. This was announced by Jos? Luis Alom?a, general director of epidemiology, at the press conference on Sunday, April 12. On Sunday of last week there were 2,143 cases and 94 deaths, which means that in one week they increased by 2,518 cases and 202 deaths.

The five entities in the country with the highest number of COVID-19 cases are Mexico City, the State of Mexico, Baja California, Puebla and Quintana Roo. Which agrees with the estimates of the federal government that had anticipated that the main cities of Mexico would be the most affected, due to gentrification and despite the isolation.

According to official data, the people who lost their lives due to complications in their COVID-19 conditions were because they had an aggravation such as chronic diseases or their immune system was compromised. Jos? Luis Alom?a specified that of the deaths there were people with hypertension (41.03%), diabetes (37.36%), obesity (36.63%), smoking (11.72%), lung disease (8.79%), chronic kidney failure (7.69%), cardiovascular diseases (6.23%), immunosuppression (4.03%), asthma (2.93%), and HIV or AIDS (0.37%). In total, the case fatality rate in the country is 6.35%, very similar to the global percentage of 6.20.

This statistic also coincides with the recommendations of the highest international health organization, since the World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that the main factors that can aggravate the symptoms of individuals are chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, respiratory problems, overweight, belong to the demographic of older adults, pregnancy and have a compromised immune system. The latter may be due to immunosuppressive treatments, such as those to which cancer patients or people living with HIV / AIDS are subjected.

To classify them, the SSa created three divisions by age group:

1.- Under 25 years old

2.- From 25 to 59 years old

3.- From 60 onwards

Where the sector from 25 to 59 has been the most affected in terms of infections and the 60 and up is the group that registers the most deaths.

They also specified that cases requiring medical intervention have increased to 32.57%, this means that outpatient cases are 67.43%. Specifically, of all the coronavirus cases in Mexico, 3.91% were intubated, 18.23% were seriously hospitalized and 10.33% were hospitalized stable.

Another point where the WHO and SSA criteria converge is in promoting social isolation to reduce the epidemic curve and not collapse health services. Currently in Mexico, the federal government is promoting the National Sana Distancia Day and on the morning of Sunday, April 12, Hugo L?pez-Gatell published the call for Wellbeing Doctors on his official Twitter account, a campaign that seeks to recruit all medical personnel possible to deal with the health crisis that COVID-19 brought.

Accompanied by Dr. Alejandro Svarch P?rez, member of the National Medical Coordination of the Institute of Health for Well-being, they urged all doctors to register in the call to attend to those who need it.

“We make an attentive call to all our doctors, to all our doctors; to our nurses; to the generals and to those who have some type of specialty in pulmonology, infectious diseases, intensive care or anesthesiology, to help us face this epidemic together. Please join Wellbeing Doctors and help us in this work that the country entrusts us with, ”urged Svarch P?rez.

Likewise, L?pez-Gatell announced that in the months of April and May "we are going to have the most difficult season of this epidemic," since he assured that there will be many patients and that, therefore, they will need a lot of staff to be able to provide Hospital care: “We need competent personnel ... Help Mexico. All together we will be able to achieve it ”, closed the undersecretary for health promotion and prevention in his message.
