El Salvador registers 190 cases of COVID-19 with 13 more local infections
EFE
The Savior

El Salvador registered 13 new local infections of COVID-19, bringing the number of positive cases to 190, while the death toll remains at 7, according to official data consulted this Saturday.

The official website of the Ministry of Health with the COVID figures accounts for 140 active cases, of which 116 patients have a "stable", 6 "moderate", 7 "severe" and 1 "critical" medical prognosis.

According to the country's president, Nayib Bukele, all new cases are "epidemiological links" to other patients with the disease.

On the other hand, the Government indicated that 5 more patients recovered to total 43 and 290 people were quarantined.

A group of Salvadorans who are under mandatory quarantine in a hotel denounced on Friday that their human rights are being violated, since they completed the established 30-day period, without the authorities letting them out.

"Does anyone think we want to have them held in a 4-star hotel for sport?" Bukele said on Twitter after posting a video on social media with images of these people.

On Friday night, the president also ordered the establishment of a "sanitary cord" in the coastal town of La Libertad after a video was released showing several people in a commercial area allegedly violating mandatory home quarantine.

"If they continue with this behavior, it is practically certain that they will catch the virus and more than one of their relatives will die," the president published on his Twitter account.

The Ministry of Defense published images in which several soldiers are seen entering the town to close all commercial premises and keep the entire population in their homes.

According to Bukele, established exceptions, such as permission to go out for food or medicine, will not be allowed in this area.

The Bukele government maintains a tense relationship with the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ) and Congress after announcing that it will not comply with a ruling that prohibits it from forcibly detaining and confining people who skip quarantine and warn that it will veto a law that seeks, in the opinion of the deputies, to guarantee the rights of people in quarantine.

But information such as age, sex, and where the death occurred may be public.

In fact, with the information disseminated through the Twitter account of President Nayib Bukele and in the conferences of the Minister of Health, it has been possible to collect some data.

The seven deaths caused by the coronavirus in El Salvador have occurred between March 31 and April 17.

Two of the people who died from COVID-19 were women and the rest were men. Among them a four-year-old boy. Three of those deaths occurred in people between the ages of 60 and 69.

For me, cataloging them as imported or local is no longer useful, ”says internist Jos? Gonzalo Batres Baires, a Salvadoran doctor who treats patients in a hospital in Munich, Germany.
