National Guard surveillance in hospitals ruled out

In the case of assaults on medical personnel, Hugo L?pez-Gatell, Undersecretary for Prevention and Health Promotion, indicated that there are different elements on the part of the federal government to guarantee the safety of people and equipment.

L?pez-Gatell ruled out that elements of the National Guard are going to reinforce surveillance in hospitals and clinics, since he pointed out that the attacks against staff are being carried out on public roads, not in health centers.

"There is no plan to militarize the country," he emphasized. "It is very alarming that there are people who are channeling feelings such as fear and anger towards the personnel who protect them," he said.

One of the last incidents recorded against medical personnel occurred in an IMSS clinic located in the Azcapotzalco city hall, in Mexico City, where relatives of a person who died of coronavirus attacked doctors who were preventing them from approaching the patient to avoid infections.

This caused the CDMX Secretariat for Citizen Security (SSC-CDMX) to deploy its elements in six hospitals and clinics in five city halls where coronavirus cases are treated.

Coronavirus in Mexico: 296 deaths and 4,661 confirmed cases total
Every day, the Ministry of Health broadcasts the progress of COVID-19 in Mexico at a press conference at 7:00 p.m.
April 12, 2020

The Ministry of Health (SSa) reported that the number of coronavirus patients in Mexico rose to 4,661 and the fatalities associated with this disease is 296. This was announced by Jos? Luis Alom?a, general director of epidemiology, at the press conference on Sunday, April 12. On Sunday of last week there were 2,143 cases and 94 deaths, which means that in one week they increased by 2,518 cases and 202 deaths.

The five entities in the country with the highest number of COVID-19 cases are Mexico City, the State of Mexico, Baja California, Puebla and Quintana Roo. Which agrees with the estimates of the federal government that had anticipated that the main cities of Mexico would be the most affected, due to gentrification and despite the isolation.

According to official data, the people who lost their lives due to complications in their COVID-19 conditions were because they had an aggravation such as chronic diseases or their immune system was compromised. Jos? Luis Alom?a specified that of the deaths there were people with hypertension (41.03%), diabetes (37.36%), obesity (36.63%), smoking (11.72%), lung disease (8.79%), chronic kidney failure (7.69%), cardiovascular diseases (6.23%), immunosuppression (4.03%), asthma (2.93%), and HIV or AIDS (0.37%). In total, the case fatality rate in the country is 6.35%, very similar to the global percentage of 6.20.

This statistic also coincides with the recommendations of the highest international health organization, since the World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that the main factors that can aggravate the symptoms of individuals are chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, respiratory problems, overweight, belong to the demographic of older adults, pregnancy and have a compromised immune system. The latter may be due to immunosuppressive treatments, such as those to which cancer patients or people living with HIV / AIDS are subjected.

To classify them, the SSa created three divisions by age group:

1.- Under 25 years old

2.- From 25 to 59 years old

3.- From 60 onwards

Where the sector from 25 to 59 has been the most affected in terms of infections and the 60 and up is the group that registers the most deaths.

They also specified that cases requiring medical intervention have increased to 32.57%, this means that outpatient cases are 67.43%. Specifically, of all the coronavirus cases in Mexico, 3.91% were intubated, 18.23% were seriously hospitalized and 10.33% were hospitalized stable.

Another point where the WHO and SSA criteria converge is in promoting social isolation to reduce the epidemic curve and not collapse health services. Currently in Mexico, the federal government is promoting the National Sana Distancia Day and on the morning of Sunday, April 12, Hugo L?pez-Gatell published the call for Wellbeing Doctors on his official Twitter account, a campaign that seeks to recruit all medical personnel possible to deal with the health crisis that COVID-19 brought.

Accompanied by Dr. Alejandro Svarch P?rez, member of the National Medical Coordination of the Institute of Health for Well-being, they urged all doctors to register in the call to attend to those who need it.

“We make an attentive call to all our doctors, to all our doctors; to our nurses; to the generals and to those who have some type of specialty in pulmonology, infectious diseases, intensive care or anesthesiology, to help us face this epidemic together. Please join Wellbeing Doctors and help us in this work that the country entrusts us with, ”urged Svarch P?rez.

Likewise, L?pez-Gatell announced that in the months of April and May "we are going to have the most difficult season of this epidemic," since he assured that there will be many patients and that, therefore, they will need a lot of staff to be able to provide Hospital care: “We need competent personnel ... Help Mexico. All together we will be able to achieve it ”, closed the undersecretary for health promotion and prevention in his message.

And although with the purchase of supplies from China, it was said that the supply of federal medical units would be guaranteed, doctors and nurses from public hospitals continue to protest the lack of protective equipment to care for COVID-19 patients.

In the conference of the daily cut on the advance of the disease, Hugo L?pez-Gatell, undersecretary of prevention and health promotion, said that the protection equipment has already been delivered and called on health workers to denounce whether it is not delivered to them.

Coronavirus in Mexico: 449 deaths and 5,847 confirmed cases
The country is preparing to enter the imminent phase 3 of the epidemic, where the number of infections is expected to intensify and accelerate; the authorities are already preparing for the worst stage
April 15, 2020

Mexican health authorities reported Wednesday that the number of coronavirus fatalities in the country amounts to 449 and the number of cases confirmed by COVID-19 is already 5,847.

The suspected cases are already 11,717 and the negative ones number 25,138 people, for a grand total of 42,702 patients studied.

The three states with the most positive numbers for COVID-19 are Mexico City, with 1,686 people, followed by the State of Mexico, with 659 infected, and Baja California, with 464 patients. Colima, with seven infected people, is the federative entity with the least positives so far.

"The contagion is increasingly accelerated," said the Undersecretary of Health, Hugo L?pez-Gatell. "Transmission in the country is geographically focused. That is, in urban areas. Surbubanas or rural areas do not yet have a very relevant transmission ”, he completed.

In contrast, the incidence rate of confirmed cases puts Baja California Sur in first place, with 20 infected per 100,000 inhabitants. It is followed by the Mexican capital and Quintana Roo, which have more than 15 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.

Of all those infected in Mexico, 58% are men and the remaining 42% are women and, given the distribution by age group, “there is a predominance of mild cases among young adults and in older adults the frequency is higher in severe cases L?pez-Gatell added.

However, this does not mean that there are no serious cases among young adults or that there are no mild cases among older people. "Yes there are," said the official.

Among those infected so far, there are 64.32% of outpatient cases. Stable inpatients represent 11% of the total, that is, 643 people. For their part, serious cases are already 20.3%, which represents 1,187 patients. The intubated are 256, 4.38% of the total.

If suspected cases were counted alongside confirmed cases, the total number of people with outpatient cases would be 12,904. Those who are hospitalized stable are 1,757 and the serious amount to 2,481. The intubated ones would happen to 422 in total.

The total number of cases would rise, bringing together people suspected of COVID-19 and those who tested positive, would add 17,564 cases. The deaths, using the same sum, would make up a total of 541 deaths, since the suspects so far are 92 cases.

Finally, L?pez-Gatell announced "good news" in the midst of the health emergency that Mexico is undergoing: 2,282 people have already recovered from COVID-19, that is, 39% of patients who have contracted it so far and who tested positive.

With the imminent arrival of phase 3 due to the coronavirus epidemic in Mexico, which "is very close" to being enacted, according to L?pez-Gatell, hospitals are also preparing to care for dozens of those infected.

For this reason, the Ministry of Health (SSa) issued a document to the directors of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) which details how the application of the Hospital Reconversion will be, in which doctors, nurses, stretcher bearers, among others Members of the Institute must consider from phase 3 of contingency for COVID-19 in the country.

The document explains that some hospitals in the country will become COVID-19 units, and at least 184 will be available for patient care.

In the distribution of confirmed cases by patient type and age group, the highest number of outpatient cases are found in the ranges of 30 to 34 years and 35 to 39 years. It is from 60 to 64 years old that all hospitalized cases are older than outpatients, thus proving that age is a risk factor for developing a serious disease.

58% of confirmed patients in Mexico belong to men, while 42% are women.

64% of confirmed cases have been in outpatients, while 11.04% are stable hospitalized, 20.41% severe hospitalized, and 4.56% intubated hospitalized.

Of the 12,340 suspected cases in the country awaiting confirmatory results, 9,578 are classified as mild, 1,201 as stable, 1,393 as severe, and 168 as intubated. There are 101 suspicious deaths in the country, which after performing the confirmatory test can be identified by COVID-19.

Alomia demonstrated with a graph and reported that from April 6 and 7 a more stable trend could be observed regarding the number of deaths in Mexico.

Deaths associated with comorbidity and risk factors are hypertension (43.42%), diabetes (37.86%), obesity (37.72%), smoking (11.73%), lung diseases (10.70%), chronic kidney failure (6.79%), disease cardiovascular (6.79%), immunosuppression (5.97%), asthma (3.50%), and HIV or AIDS (0.41%).

Men continue to be the highest proportion of people who have died, with 70%, while 30% belong to women.

Within the graph of lethality and deaths by age group there are three: those under 25, those between 25 and 59, and those over 60. The rate is 0.3, 5.7, and 17.6, respectively.

The case fatality for confirmed cases in the country is 7.72, while by state entity it is higher in the state of Durango with 23.53 and Chihuaha with 21.30. The minor is in Aguascalientes with 2.82.

In the viral disease positivity index, the line of percentages of influenza cases begins high but falls from epidemiological week 11 and remains below. On the other hand, the COVID-19 positivity index has its highest point in week 15 with 21.68%. This week, the 16th, remains at 16.4

The Undersecretary for Health Promotion and Prevention, Hugo L?pez-Gatell, explained that there is still a perception among citizens that the pandemic is not happening, because they do not have an acquaintance who is infected, but he emphasized that we are all at risk of being infected and that if they do not have a risk factor, it is possible that it will go unnoticed.

However, if you suffer from obesity, diabetes or any other type of comorbidity, there is a greater chance that an unfortunate outcome will be reached, which is why the insistence that they stay home and comply with mitigation measures, otherwise they will begin. to increase contagions.

"What happened to European countries is that the epidemic took them by surprise, and they continued to be in public spaces, and that caused an increase in infections," he explained.

Coronavirus in Mexico: 686 deaths and 8,261 confirmed cases
The epidemic curve continues to rise sharply; however, the Ministry of Health explained that this was already planned
April 19, 2020



During the evening press conference on Sunday, April 19, the Ministry of Health (SSa) confirmed that in Mexico there are already 686 deaths from coronavirus, as well as 8,261 confirmed cases.

During the presentation of the technical report on the progress of COVID-19 in the country, which takes place daily at the National Palace at 7:00 p.m., Hugo L?pez-Gatell, undersecretary of prevention and health promotion, explained that the main cities According to their estimates, the country is and will continue to be the most affected by COVID-19, where Mexico City will be the region with the most cases.

After the national capital, the State of Mexico, Baja California, Sinaloa and Puebla are the entities with the most cases of the new coronavirus. Likewise, it reported the five entities with the fewest registered cases, which are Campeche, Nayarit, Zacatecas, Durango and Colima. Data that also coincide with the estimates of the World Health Organization (WHO), since this health institution exposed given the characteristics of the virus, where there is a higher concentration of the population, there will be more cases of COVID-19.

He also recalled that in the republic, there are several metropolitan regions with high rates of epidemic incidence, where the Metropolitan Zone of the Valley of Mexico tops the list, but that metropolises such as Guadalajara, Monterrey, zone of the municipality of Benito Ju?rez should not be neglected in Quintana Roo, the northern and border region of Tijuana and Mexicali in Baja California, as well as La Paz in Baja California Sur, and Culiac?n, the capital of Sinaloa, derived from the fact that these localities have "a higher speed of transmission of the virus, due to a higher population rate ”.

L?pez-Gatell could not miss once again the opportunity to reiterate the importance of social isolation to combat the epidemic curve, and noted that despite the dissemination of contrary messages in the media or social networks, it is important to stay home.

Despite the fact that the epidemic situation in Mexico continues in Phase 2, the health authorities are already prepared for Phase 3, which is expected to be of massive contagion. For this reason, on Thursday, April 16, the Mexican government reported that the National Sana Distance Day will continue until May 30, that is, 30 days more than what was originally scheduled to maintain the mitigation measures of the coronavirus epidemic, as well as maintaining the protection of older adults and people prone to COVID-19 with stronger symptoms that could cause death.

Apart from the demographic older than 60 years of age, the most vulnerable people to this disease are pregnant women, obese people, hypertensive people, with diabetes or with a compromised immune system (people undergoing chemotherapy or who are patients living with HIV /AIDS).

Both Alom?a and L?pez-Gatell have reiterated that the deaths in Mexico are due to the fact that those infected with coronaviruses had at least two factors of the aforementioned, which occurred in very different ways and that do not make the older adults exclusive, since This week, the first death of a person under 25 was also recorded. This is a girl who had Down syndrome; The SSa undersecretary explained that this condition is often accompanied by problems in the heart, lungs and immune system, which ended up affecting the little girl who died on April 16.

According to official calculations, the highest number of infections is expected between May 3 and 10; however, the health authorities do not dismiss different pandemic scenarios and insist on social isolation policies to avoid the collapse of the institutions responsible for the health of Mexicans.

The authorities informed that it is necessary to continue respecting the orders of Sana Distancia in order to keep the number of infected people as small as possible and maintain availability of beds and resources for patients who require it.
