Morelia, Michoacán.- The Michoacán Ministry of Health (SSM) records the deaths of 1,111 diabetic patients from complications after contracting COVID-19
These patients are one of the vulnerable groups to lose their lives if they get the virus, so they are urged to strengthen preventive measures and the main one is not to leave the house.
The institution makes a call on michoacans to recognize their individual risk and not to relax the preventive health measures that can save their lives.
Staying at home, constant use of mouth covers, healthy distance, disinfection or constant washing of hands and not touching the face, are actions that prevent and break the chain of contagion of the virus, which has caused the death of 2 thousand 856 people in the entity.
The SSM urges the population to go to their nearest health unit in case of fever, cough, shortness of breath or an oxygen saturation of less than 90 percent, as early care can decrease the risk of complications.
