The increase of the morbidity for respiratory sharp infections and for the virus of the influenza A (H1N1) in the course of the present year, and especially in the last six weeks, imposes the urgent need not to lose of sight the existence of the pandemic virus and the hygienic measurements that must be adopted.
? The Cuban population has received a lot of information about the pandemic virus and perhaps for it it has lost perception of risk. It is vital to stress that no person must deny importance of any symptomatology associated with a respiratory and great picture less if it presents some factor of related risk ?, underlined Otto Pel?ez, chief of the Department of Transmissible Illnesses of the Department of Public Health (MINSAP), in press conference this Monday.
? Those that have been immunized cannot even be careless, since the vaccine only guarantees 84 per cent approximately of effectiveness and, if we bear in mind that was privileged only ten per cent of the population, it is clear how capable we are still ?, he underlined.
Compared to the last year, the activity gripal in the country shows top levels, especially in the capital, as added Maria Josefa Llanes, chief of the Program of Respiratory Sharp Infections in the National Direction of Epidemiolog?a of the MINSAP. It demands of the population a major rigor in the fulfillment of the hygienic - sanitary measurements, which are still not assumed by the whole seriousness.
The increased circulation of the virus of the influenza demonstrates that he lacks of estacionalidad, that is to say, the winter climate is not his only determinant. It is confirmed by the different critical stages that we have had, as in February, March and April of this year, in that more than 100 000 weekly cases have been attended, there explained Ricardo Pereda, deputy director of the Integrated System of Medical Urgency.
? To support the hygiene is the most powerful weapon which we have, and the hand wash is the cardinal measurement, as well as to come immediately to the doctor in case of presenting some symptom. To reinforce these precautions and more specific others in educational, sanitary, gastronomic centers, and in the proper familiar ambience, it is a task of the first order.
The epidemiologic alertness persists, but the health is also in hands of everyone ?, there emphasized Manuel Sant?n, the director of Epidemiolog?a the MINSAP.
