Within the graph of confirmed and suspected cases by date of onset of symptoms and date of registration, Alomía stated that the trend of confirmed cases can continue or continue depending on the results of people with suspected cases.

Mexico is approaching the most difficult part of the pandemic, assured the World Health Organization (WHO), a panorama that is beginning to be perceived in the country that already registered the first day of the pandemic with more than a thousand infections in the past 22 of April.

The undersecretary of Prevention and Health Promotion, Hugo López-Gatell, announced this Wednesday that it is estimated that 8 out of 10 critically ill Mexicans will die from COVID-19.

Critically ill people, who have severe respiratory failure, will require intensive therapy treatment with mechanical ventilatory support, that is, intubation. But the percentage of people who could lose the battle against the disease is between 70 and 80%.

On April 21, during the morning conference of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, it was decreed that Mexico is formally in phase 3 of the coronavirus pandemic.

It will be necessary to maintain and extend the National Sana Distancia Day until May 30, 2020, in addition to the immediate suspension from March 30 to May 30, 2020, of non-essential activities to decrease the burden of the disease.

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 the availability of beds and resources for patients who require it.

If there is doubt about the symptoms, you can go to the information mechanisms: 800-004-4800 and 911 and Susana Distancia through WhatsApp .
