“The percentage of mortality is very low, it does not reach 2%,” the minister added.
The Minister of Telecommunications, Andrés Michelena, spoke about the technological platform that the National Government implemented for the operation of the new telemedicine system in the country that will attenuate the cases of coronavirus.
In this context, the Secretary of State explained that the mortality reports on this disease are very low and that if he has a cure.
“The percentage of mortality is very low, this virus does not reach 2% if it has a cure. In the world, of all those infected, the death rate is low, the rest has restored their health. ”
On the other hand, Michelena stressed that they have had about 40,000 calls to the Call Center that the Government implemented. About 14,000 went to require direct information about this disease and the rest of the people who had possible symptoms.
“There we apply telemedicine. They call, ask for information and do a medical triage with a specialist to clear certain doubts. ”
In addition, the Minister indicated that they have already treated two thousand people in Guayas, Santa Elena and El Oro, which are the places most prone to infection by the passage of the first infected in the country.
“This is a new disease that is just being known in the world and we are prepared to face it. I think Ecuadorians should have that peace of mind. In addition, it is not a virus that can cause immediate death. ”
