The dean of the Medical College of Peru, Miguel Palacios, recommended using the mask also inside the house to avoid a possible contagion of the new coronavirus. To date, Peru has exceeded half a million cases of COVID-19 and the number of deaths from this disease rose to 25,648.
In an interview with Al Estilo Juliana, Palacios Celi suggested that citizens who go out to the streets for work or food supply should choose not to stop wearing the mask to protect their families who still have no contact with the outside.
“At home it is preferable to use a mask so that you can circulate in the house and when you are eating you lower the mask and do not speak” he pointed.
For Palacios, people must consider the assumption that “everyone is infected.” In this sense, it is essential to use the mask at home to avoid a possible outbreak of this virus among family members.

The head of the CMP reiterated his suggestion that a targeted quarantine between districts should be adopted, although he considered that this strategy is difficult to execute.
On the other hand, he considered that the Government has to expedite the subscription agreements with to obtain its vaccine against the coronavirus. This, after Russia announced the “first” effective vaccine against COVID-19.
“We have met with our vaccine committee. The range of the most optimistic is that it could be in November, and the most pessimistic believe that in the second half of 2021. In such a way, that is the range, it is quite extensive, but the important thing is that we go as a country landing, signing an alliance with a laboratory, with the WHO platform, but you need to have it now “, he indicated.
