    Updated 2020-03-30 08:13:58 | Spanish. xinhuanet. com

    MONTEVIDEO, March 29 (Xinhua) - Uruguay today confirmed six new cases of COVID-19 and has totaled 309 cases since March 13 and one died from the new coronavirus, according to a report released tonight by the government.

    "Today, 200 analyzes have been processed, with 194 negative and 6 positive results," details the statement by the National Emergency System (Sinae), released a day after the first death by COVID-19 was confirmed.

    Ten of those infected are in intensive care and two in intermediate care.

    According to data from the Ministry of Public Health (MSP), patients in intensive care rooms "correspond to those over 60 years of age and most with comorbidities."

    Since the confirmation of the first cases, on March 13, when the health emergency was declared, 3,126 analyzes have been performed, of which 10 percent were positive and 2,816 negative.

    The age range where the highest number of cases is recorded is between 55 and 64 years (78 cases), followed by the range between 25 and 34 years (57 cases).

    In addition, 25 confirmed cases correspond to health workers.

    The departments with confirmed cases are: Montevideo, Canelones (south), Colonia (west), Flores (south), Maldonado (east), Rocha (east), Salto (northwest) and Soriano (west).

    A 71-year-old man who was admitted several days ago in an intensive care room of the mutual association Asociaci?n Espa?ola de Montevideo was the first to die of COVID-19.

    President Luis Lacalle Pou declared on March 13 the "health emergency", decreed the prohibition of public shows, the suspension of teaching classes and the closure of large shopping centers.

    The government called for "social isolation", especially for those over 65 for whom a sickness allowance was enabled, and ordered the borders to be closed.

    In response to the pandemic, the government announced the creation of the Coronavirus Fund to meet health and social needs, and which will be nourished by contributions of cuts in high state wages, profits from public companies and loans from multilateral credit organizations.

    The MSP doubled the diagnostic capacity last week and expects to expand it in the coming days due to a circulation of the virus that became community.

    Interior Minister Jorge Larra?aga evaluated over the weekend that "there is a high degree of compliance by the population" with the exhortation to remain at home.

    Ticket sales in the Montevideo Metropolitan Transportation System fell 80 percent.

      Uruguay totals 320 cases of COVID-19 that already has "community circulation"
      Xinhua 2020: 03: 31.11: 00

      MONTEVIDEO, March 30 (Xinhua) - Uruguay added 10 new cases of COVID-19 today and has totaled 320 cases - with a deceased patient - of the new coronavirus that already has "community circulation" since March 13, according to the Minister of Health Public, Daniel Salinas.

      In addition, the government announced that there are 25 patients cured and announced, together with representatives of the private technology sector, that telemedicine will be used to guide and refer infected people.

      COVID-19 "is evolving according to expectations, but we need contraction to the rules (due to the health emergency)," Salinas said tonight at the Executive Tower, the government headquarters.

      "90 percent of the cases are concentrated in the metropolitan area (departments of Montevideo and Canelones, which concentrate more than half of the population), which is why we consider that the situation is under control," he said.

      "There is evidence to suggest the circulation of the virus in the population. Confirmation of the notion of contact with a COVID-19 patient or coming from abroad is no longer needed," he explained.

      For the official, "there is a transmission within society", although it is "very low, because there are very few cases."

      Of the total number of patients, 11 are hospitalized in intensive care and one in intermediate care.

      This "does nothing but increase citizen effort and commitment to stay at home, (and) move as little as possible," explained the secretary of the Presidency, ?lvaro Delgado.

      The businessman Nicol?s Jodal, founder of ARTech and creator of the multiplatform Genexus, reported at the press conference that a new version of the Coronavirus Uy mobile application will be available starting this Tuesday, which was already targeting symptoms of the disease and was downloaded for 200 thousand people.

      In a new stage, the application will enable telemedicine tools and if the health care provider who attends the user authorizes it, they can make a video call with a doctor.

      "This has enormous advantages: that the same doctor cares for many people, and that health personnel are not in direct contact with the possible infected," he said.

      Jodal also announced that "the self-test" will be implemented, a system used in South Korea, which implies that a person passes in his car through a station and "without getting off the vehicle, he will take a shot", which then leads to laboratory.

      "The test is only for those to whom the doctors have indicated it. This allows to have a lot of speed and a much more important intake. It also increases biosecurity," he said.

      Salinas pointed out that 299 analyzes were carried out today and there will be an increase in diagnostic capacity and that this week "we think that we will be in the environment of 800 to 900 tests per day."

      Since the confirmation of the first cases in the country, 3,425 analyzes have been carried out, of which 9 percent were positive.

      The departments with confirmed cases are: Montevideo, Canelones (south), Colonia (west), Flores (south), Maldonado (east), Rocha (east), Salto (northwest) and Soriano (west).

      A 71-year-old man who was admitted several days ago in an intensive care ward in Montevideo was the first person to die on Saturday of COVID-19.

      President Luis Lacalle Pou declared on March 13 the "health emergency", decreed the prohibition of public shows, the suspension of teaching classes and the closure of large shopping centers.

      The government called for "social isolation", especially for those over 65 for whom a sickness allowance was enabled, and ordered the borders to be closed.

                            When asked about the statements of President Luis Lacalle Pou, who stated that 8,700 infections should be reached so that the health services are overwhelmed, and if this encompasses "the current under-registration due to the fact that the tests have not been massive and is not included to the asymptomatic ”, Delgado responded:“ we reaffirm what President Lacalle and the Committee of Public Health experts have said ”.

                            “We are not going to reach that maximum situation. I am convinced that we are not going to get there, beyond all the measures that the government takes, and also because of the commitment of the people who are aware that they have to make the effort, ”he remarked.

                            For his part, the Health Minister, Miguel Salinas, said 97% of those tested are negative, even with symptoms. "For every 100 tests carried out, three are positive and 97 are negative, which gives us the guideline that many of them are asymptomatic or are contacts that were swabbed preventively for notable cases. They are being carried out with an epidemiological and study notion focused on a focus and that does not expand ”.

                                Of the 480 confirmed by Covid-19, 242 are currently ill, seven died and 231 recovered, the National Emergency System (Sinae) reported this afternoon.

                                Likewise, among those currently infected there are 77 health professionals and 16 patients in intensive care, according to that balance.

                                In the last hours, one person died, who cut a streak of three days without deaths from the disease. This is a 69-year-old man who was admitted to a clinic in Montevideo.

                                Since March 13, when the health emergency was declared, 8,774 coronavirus tests were carried out in Uruguay, of which 512 were positive, although these include cases of people who were examined more than once, so the individual cases confirmed they add 480, according to Sinae.

                                On the other hand, 38 Uruguayans who were stranded in Mexico returned to the country during this journey in an Air Force plane that arrived yesterday in Buenos Aires as part of an operation in which citizens of Argentina, Chile and Mexico also repatriated, Foreign Minister Ernesto Talvi reported on Twitter.
