translated from Spanish: Ginés González García: “We are in the storm”

The Minister of Health of the Nation today inaugurated a health center called “Mama Antula” in Santiago del Estero, together with its respective governor, Gerardo Zamora. The place will receive only patients with Covid-19. The site has 20 beds with respirators, 10 offices, dental and pharmacy sector, nursing room, x-ray, shock room, delivery room, inpatient sector, insulated room with four beds, among others. In Santiago del Estero, to this day there are 38 positive cases of which 27 are recovered and 11 inpatients in good health. “The national report contains 49, but of those 11 are the ones that are in the process of reclassification, since they are people who live in Buenos Aires and I think two in Salta which is where they got infected and have their residence,” Zamora said. “I don’t like to compare, but one of the best performing provinces (in this pandemic) is Santiago del Estero,” Ginés González García told the Télam news agency. “This is not a Boca-River, this is a question of the health of Argentines. Let us not forget that the pandemic did not pass and that today the most important thing is prevention. We are in a difficult time, we have gone through it with great success but this is not over, we are in the storm,” the minister said. He added: “I am very happy to be here because with Santiago we come working every day, but when one this person comes to person and sees one of the works and dreams, and strategic plantings, that are fulfilled gives me great joy.” For his part, González García highlighted the work of Argentine laboratories advancing a study for the generation of antibodies that could represent a great solution in the treatment of coronavirus.
