GRADUATE CARLOS OLMOS Tomasini, COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE MINISTRY OF SOCIAL HEALTH FEDERAL - Good morning, everyone. Chairing the press conference, Dr. Jose Angel Cordova Villalobos, Secretary of Health. Dr. Julio Sotelo Morales, head of the Coordinating Committee of National Institutes of Health and Hospitals High Especialidad.Y Dr. Jacqueline Arzoz Parent, head of the Economic Analysis Unit of the Ministry of Health.
Dr. Jose Angel Cordova Villalobos, Minister of Health FEDERAL -: Good morning, as always, on everyone.
I want to take, first, to send a greeting to all mothers of the country, including those found myself at the time were working in hospitals in Hidalgo and San Luis Potos?.La true professionalism of the people who working in the sector has been exceptional.
Secondly, I would also point out that we continue to work in the processing of evidence and, well, she will have an apparent jump in the number. However, this is what we have progressed further and you will see that the curve in its distribution and has barely fallen.
We have until yesterday 2 mil 59 confirmados.La curve still shows the same trend. This is the national curve in which most of the cases presented. On April 26, 281, and there has been progressively reduced as we approach the cases to the current date.
Of those confirmed cases, 2 of 59 thousand, 28.4 percent is the total samples. Have already processed more than seven thousand samples in the country and the percentage of positive samples was lower in women than in men, 49.3 are from the total samples, against 50.7 for men.
We also continue to see this trend to the greatest number of positive cases found in the first 19 years of life and gradually decreases under age.
In the case of deaths, we have confirmed 56 deaths, corresponding to a 2.7 per cent of all confirmed cases with influenza AH1N1.
Also, the ratio between women and men has been declining. We have 58.9 percent are women, and the remainder, 41.1 for men. And we continue to see this trend of increased number of deaths in people between 20 and 49 years of age.
This is the distribution by sex and age. As we have already mentioned, most of the female, but is actually a trend towards equalization.
Then, ages, where 82.1 percent are those between 20 and 54 years and the dates on which they were followed the deaths.
You can also see here that matches the largest number of deaths on April 25 and tends to be a progressive decrease in the number of casos.Los last two were confirmed on May 6.
Again comparing the probable cases, the dotted line against the confirmed cases in the red line, we see this downward trend.
There is an apparent plateau on days 2 to 4, May 6, was included because other clinical data in order to register all these people with probable or suspected persons, which was the presence of odynophagia.
This epidemiological and statistical grounds, but in reality was just a few days and came back down again The activities of the Caravan for Health, as you know, are devoted to visiting the homes where deaths have occurred and to locate strategic centers to provide access to information to any person requesting it, provide medical care and rapid testing.
So far 174 have been dealt with 212 thousand people and have 18 thousand 998 consultations have been carried out; 628 rapid tests, of which 550 were negative and 78 positive.
The distribution of cases by state is there. Remains roughly the same distribution. The states still have more cases are the Federal District, in the first place, Hidalgo, San Luis Potos?, Veracruz, Tabasco and Tlaxcala, with more than 50 cases.
And then, well, there are other states with fewer cases. Now only three states where there has been no confirmed case. This weekend, Sinaloa, who did not have one, was a case was detected and confirmed a caso.Y Baja California Sur, Campeche, Coahuila and, so far there have been no confirmed case.
You can see in this chart is how the world has spread the influenza virus. Which is already present in 29 countries where the United States already has 2 thousand 532 cases as of today and practically most of the Americas, the countries of the Americas, unfortunately afectados.Tambi?n are European countries and countries in the Middle East and Asia Pacific.
The behavior of the epidemic continues to decline at the national level. As I said, the peak was April 26. 2 We have the 59 thousand cases
