INTENSE CONCERN - POSITIVE CASE WITH 65 CLOSE CONTACTS

 Filenews 12 August 2020


The Ministry of Health is deeply concerned that many of the people who are positively identified in the virus have numerous close contacts, which contributes to the spread of the virus and, moreover, makes the task of tracing very difficult.

Typically, the case of a person who tested positive for the virus and had more than 65 close contacts is reportedly mentioned, a figure that shows that he did not exercise elementary attention.

Also, another person, also positive for the virus, had more than 20 close contacts and even in his workplace.

There are also cases in which people who show symptoms avoid being restricted until they have the test results, thus transmitting the virus.

Most cases involve young people who, it turns out, do not follow hygiene guidelines or self-protection measures, thus endangering the health of others, including family members, especially those belonging to vulnerable groups. Most incidents were recorded at parties and venues frequented by young people.
