A few days ago, the Minister of Health, Francisco Alabi, said that “there is still a slight increase in confirmed cases.” At the moment, epidemiologist Ricardo Lara questions that the rise in cases is due to the lack of a government prevention plan, which focused on curative rather than preventive strategy.
“We can’t talk about a second wave, because we haven’t finished coming out of the first wave; what has existed is an incalculable epidemiological uncontrollability, because they have been dedicated to hiding information, they have been dedicated to curative management and they have done nothing preventive “, question Lara.
