Eight of nine confirmed infections in Paraguay are from returnees from Brazil
EFE - Asunci?n
05/06/2020 - 22: 27h

Eight of the nine coronavirus cases reported this Wednesday in Paraguay are from repatriated citizens of Brazil in compulsory quarantine, and the total number of infections amounts to 440, reported Health Minister Julio Mazzoleni.

The minister announced on social networks that in the last 24 hours a total of 584 samples were processed, the highest number since the detection of the first case, on March 7, of which one was only by connection with another previous positive, in addition to 9 boarding schools and 7 that have recovered.

Fatal cases remain at 10.

The authorities' alarm went off last day 1 when the Ministry of Health reported 63 positives among returnees from the neighboring country of a total of 67 confirmed infections after 439 tests were processed.

Between May 1 and Wednesday 6, 174 positive cases were computed, of which 164 are from shots taken in shelters of people who entered from Brazil for humanitarian reasons amid the border blockade imposed by the Government among the restriction measures .

However, of the 63 positive cases of people arriving from the neighboring country six days ago, the number of contagion has decreased in recent days, reaching 8 in six days.

Paraguay, in mandatory quarantine for almost two months, has reported relatively low cases compared to those registered in neighbors such as Argentina and Brazil, with which it has an extensive and poorly guarded border.

Brazil "is one of the countries most reluctant to implement contingency measures (against the pandemic) and it is quite a difficult task to control a border of more than 700 kilometers," the head of Parliament, Blas Llano, told a newspaper.

The head of the Senate expressed himself thus after a meeting of the three branches of the State with the head of State, Mario Abdo Ben?tez, this Wednesday to discuss control measures against massive returns from abroad, mainly from Brazil, and the controlled return of the productive activities.

In total, Paraguay has repatriated more than 2,200 nationals stranded abroad during the quarantine, of whom nearly 1,700 were in Brazil.

Since March 23, Paraguayans who returned from abroad have been housed in 42 shelters created in different parts of the country amid other measures taken such as the closure of borders and restriction of movement of vehicles and people.

Another front of attention of the authorities is the one that corresponds to the Office of the Prosecutor against people who violate the health quarantine, a total of 2937 accused until this Wednesday, the Public Ministry said in a statement.

That number of people is being prosecuted throughout the country "for punishable acts related to the health quarantine at the risk of expansion of coronavirus."

One of those accused is a 22-year-old man who fled early Tuesday morning from a shelter in Ciudad del Este, on the border with Brazil, and is being sought by the police and the Public Ministry.

He stressed that his viral loads are very high, different from those detected in Asunci?n or Central. For this reason, the test taking protocol was modified.

"Previously at 14 days, the test was taken for returnees in shelters, and a week ago we modified that protocol taking the test on the first day of arrival of the compatriot," he said.

He argued that those affected are mostly young people who were highly exposed because they passed through several delicate cities before being able to reach the border.

He expressed his concern about the attitude of Paraguayans who are serving quarantine in shelters, who do not believe in the Covid-19 disease.
