Ma?alich also referred to the controversial "Carnet Covid", which is expected to be delivered in the coming days to people who have overcome the disease and are immune so that they are not obliged to abide by movement restrictions in their communes, although he ruled out their delivery " for the moment ”in Santiago due to the high number of cases.

Chile registers for the second consecutive day a record of deaths from COVID-19
Friday, May 15, 2020 10:28
Santiago de Chile - The authorities of the Chilean Ministry of Health reported this Friday that in the last 24 hours there were 26 deaths, which constitutes a new record in deaths in the country for the second consecutive day, bringing the total number of deaths to 394 .
Regarding the number of infected, the ministry estimated at 2,502 new cases, which went on to increase the total number, which now stands at 39,542 people, with 16,614 of them recovered.
Another unpublished data was the number of PCR tests that were taken in the last day, which reached 16,095 samples with a positivity rate of 16%.
According to figures provided by the Undersecretary of Assistance Networks, Arturo Z??iga, there are 711 patients in intensive care units, 584 of them connected to mechanical ventilation and of these, 124 are in critical condition.
The available fans will be reduced to 419, although throughout this day 218 more will be received.
TRANSFERS OF PATIENTS TO LOWER HOSPITAL OCCUPATION
Z??iga also reported that the percentage of critical bed occupancy is 80% nationally and 90% in the Metropolitan region, where Santiago de Chile is located.
Faced with this situation, the undersecretary indicated that patient transfers have been carried out to reduce employment in this region in order to anticipate "a potential higher admission per hospitalized patient" that could occur "in the coming days or during the next week due to the increased contagion. "
Thus, he indicated that already this Thursday, transfers were made to the Biob?o region, where there is a significant number of beds available to serve coronavirus patients.
PRESS ATTENTION CALL
For his part, the Minister of Health, Jaime Ma?alich, called on the press for "collaboration" and "to have a lot of responsibility for the information" because, he said, "the most false information, the terrorizing information, which are copied over and over again with a certain degree of naivete by serious means, they do much harm. "
In this way, the Secretary of State referred to some recent controversies that have been echoed in the press, such as the creation of quotas in cemeteries due to the increase in deaths due to coronavirus, which was denied by the authorities as to the existence of an order to expand the number of graves.
"It makes sense to report the truth ... it is not justified to use lies and use terror when what is said is false," said Ma?alich.
However, it should be noted that Raschid Saud, the director of the General Cemetery, the largest in Chile and located in Santiago, told Efe that work is being done on the construction of 1,000 additional graves in the event of a possible "higher requirement" in the coming weeks. due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"We don't want something similar to happen to other countries, like Ecuador, Brazil or the United States, where there was simply no place to bury people. That's why we started preparing about two months ago," Saud said.
QUARANTINE IN THE "GRAN SANTIAGO"
This Friday at 22:00 local time (02:00 GMT on Saturday) 32 communes (neighborhoods) in the province of Santiago will quarantine plus 6 communes adjacent to that province, in addition to the northern cities of Iquique and Alto Hospicio.
This means that nearly 8 million inhabitants will be in quarantine, almost two and a half months after the arrival of the pandemic in Chile, which has opted at all times for partial and dynamic quarantines, never - for the moment - at the national level.
According to data from Johns Hopkins University, Chile ranks as the fourth Latin American country with the highest number of cases of COVID-19, being surpassed by Brazil, Peru and Mexico.

After a week with daily records, Chile passed a milestone by adding 35 deaths and 4,038 new cases of coronavirus in the last 24 hours to bring the number of infected persons to 53,617 and the number of deaths since March to 544, the Ministry of Health reported on Wednesday.
In Santiago, the capital of seven million inhabitants which is the main focus of the pandemic in the country, between 94% and 95% of the units with critically ill beds are occupied, and yet another "very important "of hospitalized, authorities said.
The Health Minister, Jaime Ma?alich, indicated that the total quarantine in Greater Santiago will be renewed for one more week, so that for the moment the isolation measures will last at least until Friday, May 29.
They also view with concern the increase in cases and hospital occupation in the Valpara?so region, particularly in the port of San Antonio, 120 km west of Santiago, a destination for cruises and commercial import and export operations.
"The greatest number of new cases that we have had in recent weeks refer to the Metropolitan Region, more than 85% of these cases continue to correspond to the Metropolitan Region," said Paula Daza, Undersecretary of Public Health.
The gloomy balances have coincided with a drop in temperatures before the start of the southern winter, with between 9 and 13 degrees Celsius in Santiago, and a climate of social tension in the most poverty-stricken area of the city.
Quarantined
In the rest of the country, some communes in the Antofagasta mining region and Iquique, in the north, are kept in quarantine.
South of Chile decreed total isolation since Friday for the city of Lonquimay, in the Araucan?a Region, "where there is a large concentration of indigenous peoples and the area is very far from hospital centers," said the minister.
Until April 30, the country showed encouraging figures, but experts warned that it was still too premature to claim victory, especially considering that contagions had begun to spread in the poorest and most populated sectors of Santiago, a city where in winter ( especially in June and July) the public health network is usually saturated by respiratory diseases.
With figures that seemed under control, triumphant tones among the authorities and panic over the economic fall, President Sebasti?n Pi?era and several mayors gave signs to recover activity, such as the opening of some shopping centers and the order to return public officials.

77% OF POSITIVE CASES CORRESPOND TO THE METROPOLITAN REGION
Chile approaches 600 deaths from covid-19 after reporting 45 new deaths
In the last 24 hours, 3,964 new infections were reported, bringing the total to 57,581

The coronavirus pandemic has left a total of 589 people dead in Chile after 45 new deaths were reported in the last 24 hours, representing a new record in the country, the Ministry of Health authorities reported on Thursday.
The number of people infected in the last 24 hours was 3,964, of which 3,538 had symptoms and 426 were asymptomatic, which places the total number of coronavirus cases in Chile at 57,581 since the first positive was confirmed on March 3.
Of the total cases presented in this time, 23,992 correspond to people who have recovered while 33,000 are still active.
"It is evident that the number of cases is increasing, that means that in the next few days that will cause pressure on the healthcare network," said the Minister of Health, Jaime Ma?alich, in the daily press appearance in which he presents the new pandemic data.
In this regard, the undersecretary of Healthcare Networks, Arturo Z??iga, reported that there are 943 patients hospitalized in intensive care units, of which 795 are under mechanical ventilation and 148 of them remain in critical condition.
"Yesterday we presented a hospital occupation nationwide of 83%, with 2,162 intensive care beds, increasing the number of beds by 53 compared to the previous day. This has allowed us to maintain this level of occupation," he said.
THE CAPITAL CONCENTRATES THE MAJORITY OF CASES
Last week, the Chilean government decreed a mandatory total of 40 in Santiago de Chile and part of its suburbs, a measure that keeps nearly 7 million people confined in their homes and that lasted this Wednesday until May 29 before the advance of the pandemic.
The Metropolitan Region, in which Santiago de Chile is located, concentrates 44,635 of the total number of coronavirus cases (77%) and 388 of the deaths (65%). In fact, 40 of the last 45 deceased belonged to this territory.
Until now, this type of mega-quarantine has been ruled out by the Government, which since the start of the pandemic defended "selective and strategic" confinements, with movement restrictions imposed and lifted in each commune (neighborhood) depending on the new infections
In addition to Santiago and its periphery, the towns of Antofagasta, Iquique, Alto Hospicio and Mejillones - all north of the capital - and the southern town of Lonquimay, in La Araucan?a, also renewed for a week.
In total, throughout the country, almost 8 million people will be quarantined.
PI?ERA REQUESTS UNIT
The President of Chile, Sebasti?n Pi?era, sent a telematic message to the population on Thursday and said he called for "the unity of all Chileans" to fight the coronavirus.
"Today, when our country and the whole world, we live in very hard times, I would like to ... give a message of faith and hope, and ask for the unity of all Chileans," he said.
The pandemic is taking its toll on the Chileans' pocket and this Monday the first protests were registered for lack of work and food in the most humble neighborhoods on the outskirts of the capital, despite the fact that the Government promised the delivery of 2.5 million baskets food.
