Dr. Féliz Antonio Cruz Jiminián clarified that a video circulated by unknown people in which he appears saying that many people were going to die from COVID-19 is from June of last year.
The doctor considers that ill-intentioned people are disseminating the recording on social networks about the condition of coronavirus patients with the purpose of creating panic in the Dominican population.
Cruz Jiminián said that in June while he was talking with doctors in the corridors of his clinic, he commented that there were many patients who were going to die of COVID, but that this information has nothing to do with the current situation.
The doctor asked the National Police to follow up on those who allegedly seek to create discomfort among citizens with outdated data.
He argued that it is true that there is a new strain of the virus, but that the easiest way to avoid it is by wearing a mask and respecting social distancing.
