Guatemala rises to a thousand 52 positive cases of Covid-19 and 26 deceased
Guatemala, May 10 (Prensa Latina) Guatemala added 85 new cases of Covid-19 and today accumulates 1,252 with a case fatality rate of 2.47 percent, President Alejandro Giammattei explained on the national network.

The Head of State mourned the death of two women, 34 and 68 years of age respectively, bringing the number to 26, since the new coronavirus entered this country on March 13.

As positive news, Giammattei announced six medical discharges, a total of 110, and the performance of its largest number of diagnostic tests so far, 718.

The governor recalled that as expected, the following days will reflect an accelerated increase in infections, hence his call to respect the current measures, such as the 10-hour curfew and the use of masks on public roads, in a certain relaxation of discipline.

As for the provisions, he advised that they would follow the same as the previous week, although as of Monday the interdepartmental transit ban is introduced nationwide due to the rebound in cases.

Likewise, he called to abide by the sanitary regulations in the cantonal or municipal markets or else they would be closed until new order, as well as some centers that opened businesses without being included in the authorized category of shopping malls, since last Sunday.

Giammattei attacked the people who are dedicated to spreading false rumors on social networks, which, he said, had been identified and could be reported to the Public Ministry.

He also asked that their ministers be allowed to work, since they were summoned every day by different commissions to give an account, when at one time the different questionnaires could be aired in order to advance in the implementation of the decrees approved to alleviate the economic impact of the pandemic.

In this sense, he specified that the Family Bonus has already come into operation, with the launch of a pilot plan to socialize it to its beneficiaries; the Employment Protection Fund for the private sector and the electricity subsidy, among 10 other programs designed to relieve the most vulnerable families and small and medium-sized companies.

Lastly, he asked the population to continue supporting the state effort in the management of Covid-19 so that it does not continue to spread, since Guatemala registers low figures when compared to other countries in the Central American area and Latin America, he pointed out.
