Five deceased and 405 confirmed in Mexico by Covid-19

Mexico, Mar 24 (Prensa Latina) Mexico registered another deceased by Covid-19, a woman, and now they reach five, while those confirmed increased to 405, Health specialists reported today in the usual evening conference at the National Palace.

The director of Epidemiology, Jos? Luis Alom?a Zegarra, reported that the largest number of cases are concentrated in the capital, the state of Mexico, Jalisco and Nuevo Le?n, and the total accumulated cases total 1,291 but they will continue to increase.

Of the total affected only 10 percent required hospitalization and 90 percent received outpatient care and isolation at home. Seven percent were in a stable clinical state and two percent were severe.

Deaths and morbidity percentage were 70 percent due to obesity, diabetes, hypertension and kidney failure, and other collateral diseases. The death rate is well below the international level, he said.

The undersecretary of Prevention, Hugo L?pez-Gatell, official spokesperson for the epidemic, reiterated that Mexico prepared very well from the beginning of the disease, which enabled the entire health system to be activated to broadly apply the repertoire of interventions and control of problem management.

He explained that the mitigation repertoire aims to reduce the contagion curve and slow down the transmission of the virus, thus delaying the peak of the epidemic, that there are fewer cases per day and that the level of hospital care is not exceeded.

He considered it extremely important to define the critical moment of the evolution of the epidemic in order to implement the corresponding measures at the appropriate time without affecting the community or losing its usefulness. It is what they technically call opportunity, and it is what has allowed Mexico to face this challenge.

He said that the ideal point for interventions is when the rapid increase in cases begins, which occurred in Mexico on the 23rd of this month with the five cases of community contagion, and that is when the healthy distance journey begins to be applied as had been programmed.

Mexico disclosed in the morning conference of President Andr?s Manuel L?pez Obrador a set of measures that intensifies the battle against Covid-19, which already keeps a significant part of the population locked up in their homes and very few people in the streets.

Coronavirus in Mexico: 94 deaths and 2,143 confirmed cases
The Ministry of Health offers a daily conference at 7:00 p.m. where it reports the progress of COVID-19 in the country
April 5, 2020


The Ministry of Health reported that the number of patients with coronavirus in Mexico rose to 2,143 and the fatalities associated with this disease is 94. This was reported in the press conference on Sunday, April 5

During the conference that takes place daily at 7:00 p.m., Hugo L?pez-Gatell, undersecretary of prevention and health promotion, also specified that after the period of isolation of different patients who had confirmed positive for COVID-19 , around 25% no longer represent a risk of contagion, since they have already healed from the disease. He also emphasized that, so far, the probability of dying from COVID-19 is 0.074 per 100,000 inhabitants; however, he invited the citizens not to trust themselves, because according to SSa calculations, he expects Mexico to enter Phase 3 of the pandemic between two to three weeks.

The mean age in confirmed cases is also 43 years, and the range is from 0 to 91 years. Most cases continue to occur in men, with a 58% incidence, while in women it is 42% percent. These numbers resemble that of the European population; however, Mexican metrics do not lose sight of the characteristics of the national population.

This, because Mexico has one of the highest populations in diabetes, hypertension and overweight, factors that can aggravate the symptoms of COVID-19.

He also stressed that deaths related to the disease have one or two aggravating factors.

The World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that the main factors that can aggravate symptoms in individuals are chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, respiratory problems, being overweight, belonging to the demographic of older adults, pregnancy and having the immune system. committed. The latter may be due to immunosuppressive treatments, such as those to which cancer patients or people living with HIV / AIDS are subjected.

Likewise, the WHO continues to insist on social isolation to reduce the epidemic curve and, in this way, prevent the health services from collapsing due to an excess demand generated by a saturation of patients in a very short period.

In Mexico, the federal government implemented the National Sana Distancia Day, which promotes social isolation and includes a period from Monday, March 23 to Thursday, April 30. This strategy is based on four strategic axes.

The first of these is to spread basic hygiene standards, where promoting healthy distance, etiquette sneezing and proper hand hygiene is paramount. The next section is the suspension of non-essential activities, this in order to avoid exposure of individuals in their usual chores and in the transportation inherent in them. The third point consists of the rescheduling of mass concentration events, for this point, different shows have been canceled around the entire republic. The latter expresses the special attention that older adults and anyone who is susceptible to COVID-19 attacks should have.

In order to define what essential activities are, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Labor disseminated the information regarding this point of the National Day of Healthy Distance. Both secretariats published that everything that does not coincide with the following five points, is automatically classified as non-essential activity:



1.- Activities to attend to the emergency (doctors, paramedics, comprehensive health services, supply of medicines, pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical equipment, health technology, sanitation, etc.).

2.- Public security, sovereignty and national defense, law enforcement and justice, and federal and local legislative functions.

3.- Fundamental sectors of the economy (financial, collection, energy, food, self-service stores and markets, children's rooms, private security, telecommunications, the media and funeral services).

4.- Government social programs.

5.- Everything related to the maintenance and repair of the basic services infrastructure (drinking water, electricity, gas, etc.).

In addition, the health authorities urged the population to stop the attacks against medical personnel, as has recently happened in different states of the country. "They have no justification, it is even more outrageous when it comes to health professionals, because they are in the first line of work facing the epidemic," said Under Secretary of Health, Hugo L?pez-Gatell.

In addition, L?pez-Gatell ruled out that, due to the social distancing measures taken in recent weeks, the public transport service will be reduced. "There is no need, because it would be adverse: it would lead to more people crowding together at the stops and on the platforms, it is not a useful measure," said the official.

He also referred to the possibility, mentioned by the country's president, Andr?s Manuel L?pez Obrador, that Mexico receive the support of medical personnel from Cuba, as Italy did at the time.

There are various international and health care foundation offerings - all have been put up for consideration and analysis. In due course make a pragmatic decision

In addition, L?pez-Gatell specified that in Mexico there are doctors, nurses, and nurses, but not enough. "The OECD itself (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) documented that we do not have enough personnel under ordinary conditions, especially now in an emergency like this," he said ....
