                            The 11 deaths reported this Monday had risk factors, such as the case of a minor with Down syndrome, obesity and kidney and heart failure, authorities said.

                            A total of 93,646 tests have been carried out to detect the new coronavirus, of which 24,119 (26%) have been positive. In the last 24 hours, 2,009 tests were applied, which brought the rate to 21,887 of these carried out per million inhabitants.

                            The Vice Minister of Health, Luis Francisco Sucre, highlighted that 85% of the new positive cases have been detected in the provinces of Panama, which includes the capital, and the adjoining Panama West, where outbreaks of the disease were identified and in Consequently, strong restrictions on mobility remain.

                            Panama is experiencing a resurgence of COVID-19 with record numbers of daily cases in the last week, which led the authorities to reimplant mobility restrictions by gender and identification number from June 8 in the capital and in Panama West, the most populous provinces in the country.

                            The vice minister also reported that two private companies donated 19 fans to the State for use in hospitals.

                            On the other hand, the Government announced on Monday an alliance with the Specialized Higher Technical Institute (ITSE) and the Coursera platform so that 250,000 Panamanians affected by the pandemic can carry out 3,800 virtual courses and 400 specializations.

                            The Government distributes food bags and a 70 euros monthly bonus to a part of those affected by the pandemic, which will bring down the economy of Panama by at least 2% this year and will trigger unemployment and informality, which before the crises stood at 7.1% and 44.9%, respectively.

                            Panama divided its economic reopening into six blocks, two of which, involving fishing, internet sales, industry, banking and technical services, were activated on May 13 and June 1. EFE
