Behavior of Covid-19 in the last week:
The Executive Vice President of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez, assured that the behavior of the virus had maintained a rate in December of 13 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, however, last week 12 cases were registered per 100,000 inhabitants, while, this week there was an increase in the plateau to 14 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, which represents two points of elevation for what he called to the conscience of the people.
In this sense, Rodríguez added that there are federal entities that have been experiencing sustained growth in cases for almost six weeks, so the authorities are asking for greater reflection and compliance with biosafety measures.
In this way, he specified that this week three states registered decreases in cases: Amazonas, Mérida and Táchira, while seven entities registered growth: District. Capital, Carabobo, Cojedes, Falcón, La Guaira, Yaracuy and La Guaira.
The entities with the highest number of community cases are:
Capital District: 775
Zulia: 678
La Guaira: 649
Yaracuy: 568
Miranda 495
Carabobo: 332
Lara: 273
Tachira: 268
Finally, the Executive Vice President warned that “We are in time to prevent Venezuela from having a rebound in the coming weeks.”
