For 5,712 people it will be a different New Year’s welcome, as well as for their families. The figure increases the infections detected by the Departmental Health Service (Headquarters) in what is the worst week of infections since the appearance of the virus in the region.
To this is added another figure that worries, since 13 people lost their lives in their fight against the virus, according to Carlos Hurtado, manager of Epidemiology at Headquarters. 9 of them did not have any type of vaccine.
This 2021, Santa Cruz had to endure the attacks of three waves of infections. The year closes with 184,987 infected, a figure that triples the infections of 2020, the year in which the country was governed mainly by Jeanine Áñez.
In contrast, 1,480 recovered from the disease and the fatality rate also remains low at a rate of 0.7%, according to the report.
Although these latest figures are encouraging, Hurtado warned that the new positives are distributed in 49 municipalities, a figure that had not been registered previously.
The municipality of Santa Cruz de la Sierra continues to be the most affected, since it concentrates 89% of the new positives.
This January 1 there will be no vaccination in Santa Cruz, but for Sunday the Fexpocruz vaccination center will open its doors to people who want to be immunized against the disease.
