What the Institute of Public Health documents is that the outbreak of this disease is the most important we have had in recent years,” he said. “Unfortunately, this infection, this virus, which can affect anyone, including adults, when it compromises the health of young children, under 4 years old, the risk they take is very important,” Mañalich added. For his part, Undersecretary Zúñiga explained that among the measures taken are “the enablement of 25% more critical beds in hospitals, “that means more than 200 beds, both intensive and intermediate. We have also moved patients to regions,” he said.
