MEXICO CITY – Mexican officials say they are involved in the country possibly having entered a plateau of coronavirus infections after about 3 weeks of decline.
The Ministry of Health said Tuesday that there were 4,916 new cases shown, bringing Mexico’s total to 568,621. There were 650 deaths recently shown, bringing the country’s total to 61,450, the third in the world.
The director of epidemiology of the health branch, José Luis Aloma, said that “the trend is towards what can be a plateau”.
The figures are considered a significant undersal, given the incredibly low rate of testing in Mexico. But what is constant is the higher number of inflamed fitness workers, perhaps because they are more exposed and evaluated at a higher rate.
Since the onset of the pandemic, 97,632 nurses, doctors and other hospital staff have tested positive for approximately 17% of all cases in the country. A total of 1,320 fitness staff died from COVID-19 in Mexico.
