She offered a summary of the cases:
Of the 504 people, 241 are recovered. There is a recovery rate of 47.8 percent.
110 are in hospitals, 125 in CDI, 18 in clinics and the figure of 10 deceased remains.
Of the 504 cases, 241 are recovered and 253 cases are active. 165 are asymptomatic (today’s 45 cases are asymptomatic).
85 have mild acute respiratory failure, 2 have moderate acute respiratory failure, and 1 has severe acute respiratory failure and is in an intensive care unit.
From May 9 to 16, we have detected 116 new cases. Of these, 87 are imported (75 percent) from Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Chile and Ecuador.
She stressed that, if Venezuela had not adopted the state of constitutional alarm, Venezuela would have around 422,856 cases and not the 504 cases that exist today, most of them imported due the the humanitarian nature of the Bolivarian Revolution while most of the countries have chosen to leave their nationals to die alone abroad.
She added that the meeting took longer because measures are being taken in the border states as 75% of the cases are imported. In the next few hours, new measures will be announced to consolidate the sanitary cordon at the border checkpoints.
