Uruguay has a record of cases and Lacalle Pou doubts factors of increase

With this report, the country has reached 32,777 active cases, 498 in intensive care, and the total number of deaths since March of last year is 3,760, including 69 in the last hours.

Looking at the numbers, the maximum Uruguayan president began to doubt the possible determinants of the hike, although he warned that he was not an expert on the matter.

“I listen to a lot of explanations from the start. I am not an expert on the subject. But they tell me that the increase in cases is due to the fact that more tests have been done. If so, then we could be faced with the situation that if we did 40,000, there would be 8,000 cases, ”he said.

After which, he referred to the openings that were flagged two weeks ago as possible triggers for the situation: “Then there’s the explanation, which I don’t know if it closes me completely, which says that of such activities or events have been going on for so many days. There are, and for this reason, the cases have increased. I have no evidence to say it was Mother’s Day. “

“What I observed yesterday is that although there is an increase in cases, there has been no increase in intensive treatment, which continues to decline every week, and there is no has not been an increase in deaths, “he said.

Likewise, he said he understood those who questioned the reopening of gyms and clubs but argued that “there is no total discretion” but rather that decisions are made “with a record that tries to to be fair, and that, like all human action, has a percentage of injustice. “

“Questions arise. I understand them. I put myself in the shoes of many Uruguayans who say” why if the gymnasiums and not the cultural shows “”, he thinks.
