Costa Rica has 655 cases of COVID-19 and creates protection for wildlife

Costa Rica registers until Saturday a total of 655 positive cases of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (causing the disease of COVID-19), six more cases in 24 hours, and establishes measures for the protection of wildlife.

The Costa Rican Minister of Health, Daniel Salas, indicated in a virtual press conference that there are 16 hospitalized patients, of which 10 are located in intensive care units, while a total of 97 have recovered in the country and 7,095 have been discarded. .

"Most of us have shown an attitude that has allowed us to reach these figures, also the result of the most restrictive actions at Easter, but it is not a guarantee that we do not have an increase in sudden cases. We must get used to living with the measures and social distancing, "said Salas.

Since the first case was diagnosed on March 6, Costa Rica has recorded four deaths: the first occurred on March 18 and 20, both 87-year-old men; the third was a 45-year-old man who died on April 8; and the fourth was an 84-year-old patient who died on April 15.

The executive president of the Costa Rican Social Security Fund, Rom?n Macaya, revealed that the entity started the placement of a mobile unit (field hospital) in the north to attend cases of the new coronavirus.

"It is a cross-border area and we know that this population may fluctuate depending on the migratory transit. The mobile unit was implemented to provide differentiated care for these types of patients and to increase the availability of care," said Macaya.

MEASURES FOR WILDLIFE

The Costa Rican government also reported temporary measures in protected areas to regulate the interaction of researchers and park rangers with animals, with the aim of protecting wildlife during the national health emergency by COVID-19.

The Minister of Environment and Energy, Carlos Manuel Rodr?guez, affirmed that with these actions Costa Rica becomes one of the first countries in the world to take measures to protect wildlife and national biodiversity in the midst of the global emergency.

"We are acting responsibly and anticipating what could be a tragedy for humanity, under the precautionary principle, protected by the Biodiversity Law," said Rodr?guez.

The authorities explained that the researchers, assistants and personnel of Conservation Areas will not be able to visit sites where wildlife is present, either in their natural habitat (in free living conditions), or in wildlife management sites (in conditions of captivity).

The director of the National Commission for the Management of Biodiversity, Angela Gonz?lez, stressed that "cases such as the tigress in the United States that got COVID-19, are a wake-up call, and imply that we must be vigilant as a country to avoid a tragedy such as reverse zoonosis where contagion from humans to wildlife occurs. "

The measures were extended until June 1, 2020, but the term may be extended as the national health emergency progresses.

Costa Rica registers more recovered than active cases of COVID-19

Costa Rican authorities reported this Saturday that patients recovered from COVID-19 outnumbered active cases with the disease for the first time, but called on the population to maintain hygienic precautions and abide by the measures ordered by the Government.

The Health Minister, Daniel Salas, said in a press conference that since the first diagnosed with COVID-19 on March 6, Costa Rica has recorded a total of 733 positive cases, of which 372 have been declared as recovered and 6 have passed away.

The minister insisted that "much of this pandemic is still missing" and urged the population to follow preventive measures to prevent the country from experiencing an increase in patients that could saturate health services.

On the same line, President Carlos Alvarado spoke on his social networks, insisting that the population should be neglected.

"Today we have great news: the number of people recovered (372) exceeded the number of active cases (355). But we cannot let our guard down, we must continue to comply with the measures. An oversight could jeopardize everything we have achieved as a country, "said President Alvarado.

On April 27, the Government published for the first time two projections of the behavior of the pandemic in the country as of July 21.

The first scenario is without restrictive measures, which would cause an exponential growth in cases until reaching a cumulative figure of 52,628 and a collapse of the health system with 1,197 people in intensive care units, since the capacity of Costa Rica is 140 beds of this type. specialty.

The other scenario is maintaining the measures ordered by the government and with the behavior that people have shown so far, in which the situation would be kept under control with a cumulative 1,300 cases and an average of 3 people in intensive care units.

This May 2, Costa Rica reports 16 people hospitalized, of which 6 are in intensive care units.

Costa Rica has not ordered a generalized quarantine, but it has partially or totally closed various economic activities, and has asked people to stay home as long as possible.

Since mid-March the country closed its borders to the entry of foreigners, suspended the school year and massive events, and also keeps beaches, parks, national parks, bars, discos and casinos closed.

In addition, there is a restriction on the movement of vehicles by time bands and license plate number.

Restaurants, shops and other small businesses can operate at 50% of their capacity and with strict health measures, while supermarkets and pharmacies are open but with hygienic rules and to avoid crowding.

The curve of active cases is on the decline, so the Government has begun to allow, with limitations, some activities that were prohibited, such as gyms, sports training centers and beauty salons.
