According to the statement from the health ministry, it is a 45-year-old man with comorbidities who was hospitalized in the sanatorium since August 21. The cases registered in Tucumán correspond to five health workers and one patient who began symptoms between August 18 and 22.” The six cases presented bilateral pneumonia, two of them died, three are hospitalized and the rest are in good health in home isolation, “they said from the ANLIS-Malbrán. The first death, which occurred last Monday, was of a doctor who worked at the scene.” We have detected an outbreak of bilateral pneumonia in six patients suffering from bilateral pneumonia. We have not yet found the etiology of the disease. We are not only studying a virus, but also a possible bacteria,” said the provincial Health Minister, Luis Medina Ruiz.The official tried to bring tranquility to the population and assured that “the situation is under control.” “Possibly it is an infectious etiological agent; we must prove that and look for what it is,” he said. As a preventive measure, scheduled shifts were suspended, teleconsultation was activated, and shifts for scheduled surgeries were no longer granted.
