The capital has become the major focus of the outbreak with at least half of the patients diagnosed. So far, 19 deaths are reported, among these older adults and people with a chronic history. For its part, Minsalud reported that Amazonas, Arauca, Vichada, Vaup?s, Guaviare, Caquet?, Putumayo, Choc? and Guain?a still register contagion figures, however, a contingency plan is foreseen, since they are departments that limit Brazil, Venezuela and Ecuador.

Spain and Italy, the nations most plagued by the situation, confirm more than 1,000 deaths daily.
