Sonia Valdivia, 82, died on March 21, 2020 in the capital’s hospital from causes linked to the disease, and since then more than 64,000 people have lost their lives in this country.
This is a date to reflect, to reflect on those who have left and to congratulate the entire health team that has bravely faced this pandemic face to face, explained the Minister of the Sector, Ximena Aguilera, at the event.
According to Aguilera, this situation has no parameters of comparison with other health crises experienced in Chile since the Republican era, due to the number of deaths, the impact on daily life and the social and economic impact.
It’s estimated that 6.87 million people with a confirmed diagnosis have died from the pandemic worldwide, but according to World Health Organization studies, the impact is much greater, Aguilera said.
Beyond the numbers, the pandemic has made us think about what we are experiencing, how we are dealing with it and what we still need to work on going forward, he added.
In the last 24 hours, 2,196 new cases of Covid-19 and four deaths related to SARS-CoV-2 were reported here.
