In dialogue with Caracol Radio, the city’s health secretary, Gabriel Urrego, stated that of 48 intensive care units, there are only 6 available which generates great concern since in an eventual emergency the danger is latent for people in the framework of the COVID-19 contingency. Against this background, he supported the decision regarding the permanent curfew that begins today and seeks to reduce the spread of the virus.
The official expressed concern at the increase in cases since figures of 20 to 25 cases were handled daily and so far August 72 cases Therefore, carrying out the projection at the end of the month there would already be 500.
Added that intensive care units are distributed in different healthcare centers such as: San Juan de Dios Hospital, Coffee Clinic, Central Clinic of Quindío and the Sagrada Familia Clinic.
