At the time of the Center for Control of Infection Prevention (CDC) emit a new guia that opens the door to people evacuated against the Covid-19 descarten the use of mascarillas including the compartment in closed spaces, the secretary designated by Salud, Carlos Mellado, is not categorical about the posture of the local governor of the car at the announcement of a new executive order this week.
Mellado has established that, from his individual perspective, he considers that the use of mascarillas should continue to be generalized.
“I do not think that (the CDC’s guide) is a subterfuge or ally to use the mascara. “At the moment we have vacancies we need to continue using the mascara because it is the strategy to protect the people who are not vacant until we release the reunion facility”, Mellado planted.
The title of Salud recalcates that, although the CDC’s recommendation refers to groups of people in which each individual completes the cycle of evacuation, in practice it is unlikely to have the certainty that it is correct in determining space.
The recommendation:
Although it is clear that the evacuees have a very high probability of exhibiting any syndrome in case of contact, they are not aware at the moment of the transmission risk that represents persons with whom they are in contact.
Mellado, sin embargo, titubeó al preguntársele que recomendation ofrecería al gobernador Pedro Pierluisi, who has been warned to announce to you a new executive order to replace the decree that expires this domingo.
“We follow the specific guys. What we are recalling is that the education process continues. We’re expressing ourselves referring to this, please note that this notice will read our entries by the door. From my point of view you can confuse. We will analyze them. If all the evacuees are well, it is probably unlikely that anyone will be able to (nurse). The use of mascara, as you do not have a tattoo that you say ‘you have a vacuum’, you do not see […] Bajo esa premisa, si me preguntan a mi, yo usaría la mascarilla. We are analyzing this and we are going to generate protocols that we are going to make public, ”said Mellado.
Does the governor not necessarily follow the guises of the CDC in this case ?, the insistence Metro.
“We’re analyzing because we’ve set a time (we enter). In order for there to be epidemiologists, doctors, all the world, to decide what we want to do, ”the galley replied.
Mellado, in the last instance, accepts that the governor must maintain the “cantaleta” at the ends of which the city continues to practice the means of precaution, including the use of mascarillas in public places.
“We would like to say that Vieques and Culebra do not use mascarillas (because they have a high proportion of their adult population) the contestation is no. It seems that there is no single patient hospitalized by Covid who can use mascara if he has been vaccinated all over the world. This is the position of the Department of Health, ”said Mellado.
In Puerto Rico, at the moment, the administration of 567,813 vacancies is registered, of which 356,436 numbers correspond to the first dose and 211,377 of the second dose.
Mellado and the Assistant General of the National Guard, José Reyes, subrayaron que esta semana comenzaría la segunda fas de vacunacion para la poblacion de las islas municipio de Vieques y Culebra.
The military details that, during the first phase, in Vieques vacant 3,800 people, while this week received the first dose of another 4,600. In the case of Culebra, 1,200 people are inoculated in the first round, while there are only 400 other residents who start their cycle in these days.
