Asunci?n, Jun 6 (EFE) .- The Paraguayan Ministry of Health reported this Saturday the recovery of 16 people infected with coronavirus, with which the number of active cases falls for the second consecutive day and stands at 547 positives, a total of 1,090 positives registered since March 7.
The laboratories of the Ministry processed 1,115 samples this Saturday, of which three were positive, two of them by contact and a third of a person from abroad, and all are in isolation.
Currently, Paraguay has 10 infected hospitalized and two of them are in intensive care, according to data from the Ministry of Health.
With the 16 recoveries this Saturday, the data on active cases shows two days down, after the upward trend in infections started in late May.
The Health Minister, Julio Mazzoleni, stated this Friday, in his weekly press conference, his concern about the 70 community cases registered this week, corresponding to phase one, and which the Government attributed to the relaxation of part of the population in the compliance with social distancing and other health restrictions.
Mazzoleni warned of the risk that the virus will spread throughout the country and that cases will begin to shoot simultaneously.
Given this situation, the Executive will study over the next week whether to authorize the change to phase 3 of the "smart quarantine", scheduled for June 15, or extend phase 2 a few more weeks.
Mazzoleni was in favor of this option and urged his compatriots not to let their guard down, because the next few days "are going to be crucial."
Paraguay registered its first case of coronavirus on March 7, in a citizen returning from a business trip in Ecuador.
Just a few days after that positive was known, the Government decreed a partial quarantine that was later tightened with a total quarantine with which the Executive sought to save time to strengthen the health system and prevent the collapse of hospitals.
