In squares, parks or even on any street in Quito, it has become common to see dozens of citizens doing their jobs without wearing a mask. This, despite the fact that in Ecuador, the National COE resolved the mandatory use of it, and the health emergency has not yet ended in the country.
Jaime says that he has already been vaccinated against covid with the two doses and that is why he does not use the mask, he also says that it hinders him.
According to the «Vacunometer», prepared by the Ministry of Health, 60% of the doses applied in Ecuador were of the Chinese Sinovac vaccine, 30% of Pfizer, 10.5% of Astrazeneca and 4.11% of Cansino. However, none of these vaccines is 100% effective against the virus.
For the World Health Organization, masks should be used as part of a comprehensive strategy of measures to suppress transmission.
“If COVID-19 spreads in your community, take care of yourself by adopting some simple precautions, for example, maintaining physical distance, wearing a mask, ventilating rooms well, avoiding crowds, washing your hands,” says WHO
