According to Google, From November 29 to December 12, 206 deaths due to the SARS COV 2 virus have been reported.
The Undersecretary for Prevention and Health Promotion, Hugo López Gatell-Ramírez, reported that the cases of Covid-19 for this sixth wave have increased slowly in Mexico in the last five weeks, compared to the speed registered in the fourth or fifth wave.
During the morning press conference led by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, in El Pulso de la Salud, López Gatell explained that the increase in Covid-19 cases is similar to what happens in other parts of the world in the winter season, when respiratory infections increase.
Having said the above, Lopéz Gatell explained that the international scientific community expects that COVID-19 will progressively enter the seasonal phase, that is, without waves of infections in spring and summer, and that it will be one more of the 360 respiratory viruses identified that affect to the people.
Likewise, he reported that the death curve shows that the second wave was the most lethal. As of the third season, it began to decrease and now, in the sixth season, “mortality is frankly low, fortunately,” the result of extensive vaccination throughout the territory.
He added that it is foreseeable that hospitalization for COVID-19 will increase in the coming weeks, but not with the severity and mortality that was recorded in the first waves. Currently, the occupancy of general beds stands at four percent and with a fan at two percent.
