“If we consider an average of three close contacts for each of the 12,500 confirmed cases, today we would talk about more than 36,000 close contacts who should be investigated, notified and quarantined,” he said, indicating that with those figures almost 50,000 people should be called daily.
“For no reason will the system disregard traceability. It is temporarily modified before the Ómicron variant, in a focused way, “said the Minister of Health (S), María Teresa Valenzuela, referring to the doubts that have arisen due to the modifications to the system of traceability of cases Covid-19.La Secretary of State assured that “we are strengthening the investigation in health centers to carry out the testing” and replied that “we are focused on efficiently reaching confirmed cases and delivering a timely diagnosis, because the Ómicron variant has a high rate of contagion.” Specifically, on the implementation of the plan “If I get sick, I take care of you”, where the category of “Person on Covid Alert” is established, Valenzuela acknowledged the “impracticability” of notifying all close contacts by the ministry. If we consider an average of three close contacts for each of the 12,500 confirmed cases, today we would talk about more than 36,000 close contacts who should be investigated, notified and quarantined,” he said, indicating that with those figures almost 50,000 people should be called daily. Clearly it is a traceability that becomes unsustainable, impracticable, even more so considering that the cases of Ómicron variant are increasing and occur in an incubation period of less than three days,” he added.
