The evolution of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic is close to reaching the time of “plateau”, as highlighted by Fernando Simón, director of the Center for Coordination of Health Alerts and Emergencies (Ccaes), which has announced a certain “stagnation” of the decline in cases. In addition, and in response to questions from Medical Writing, Simon has been in favor of health students being included in the priority groups for vaccination.

“In principle, it is understood that people who are in contact with cases are. All students who maintain internships with patients, and if they are at risk of coronavirus, understood to be included. But it is a definition that is very much established in the vaccination strategy, “he said.
In his speech, the director of the Ccaes stressed the need to start vaccination with the lowest possible incidence. Asked by this medium for the figure he should approach in AI, Simó has acknowledged that “we will not be in 25, at all and we will probably not be in 50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.”
“If we really took action and the Constitution Bridge didn’t have a very negative impact, we could be at the end of the year at 150 or so for debate“, calculated the director of the Ccaes, who appealed to individual prudence during the Christmas festivities.
Covid vaccine immunity
The director of the Ccaes has announced that “soon” will begin vaccination, probably by the end of the year or early 2021. “The immunity that the vaccine produces is generated one week after you have been vaccinated for the second dose“, announced Simón, who pointed out” all this time we are exposed to an infection “.
So, “You can get the disease even with the freshly vaccinated vaccine. This caused us a major problem of perceiving the risk and effectiveness of the vaccine, “Simón announced.” We must be aware that the relief of measures must not involve the relief of individual measures or with the people with whom we interact. ”
Cumulative incidence of 193 cases per 100,000 inhabitants
In addition, Simón pointed out that the cumulative incidence currently stands at 193 cases per 100,000 and that there has been a decrease in the number of tests performed, which have gone from 1,900 to 1,558 daily. Simon has placed positivity at 7.7 percent.
“One week before Christmas, we have not seen a possible effect of the Constitution Bridge. Yes, we are seeing this apparent stagnation in the decline, probably due to the reduction in measures, “said Fernando Simón, who drew attention to the fact that” we are in a delicate situation “.
“We hope that there will be no significant increases, but we cannot rule them out,” said the director of the Ccaes, who emphasized that “the risk of saturation of care systems is still there“.
