The Government ensures that the influenza A entered phase "decline" in Mexico
The Mexican Government announced today that the epidemic of influenza A that affects the country "is in its phase of decline, given that Mexico is not recorded deaths from the virus since last April 28 and the power of contagion of the same has proved to be smaller than expected.
According to recent data released by the Ministry of Health of Mexico, the number of confirmed deaths from influenza A in the country is stable at 19 and the total number of live infected is 487.
The victims died between 11 days past the April 28, mostly in the Mexican capital, and since then have been more deaths due to disease.
The total of 19 deaths recorded by the virus and which was reported yesterday to the press explained that medical examinations have been carried to the bodies of people who have died in the period indicated, which is why the authorities argue that the past four days there has been no other death.
In fact, Mexico's Health Secretary Jose Angel Cordova, said today at a press conference that the "peak" of the disease nationwide was between 23 and 28 April.
Of a total of 1280 suspected cases of the virus AH1N1 analyzed with molecular tests for specialized laboratories, 506 (39.5%), less than half were positive.
Furthermore, the results show that the virus was susceptible to antivirals, "and that" preventive measures appear to have been effective to cut the transmission, "said Cordova.
However, he insisted that the authorities and the population must not "let our guard down," and continuing with health recommendations such as washing hands frequently and use the mask.
The good news coincided with the start of election campaigns in Mexico for the next election July 5, which will renew the 500 members of the Chamber of Deputies, six state governors and mayors and 11 local congresses of the 32 states.
Candidates of parties, which have been recommended not to convene mass events by the health emergency, began their campaigns, many of them by electronic means such as Youtube, Myspace, Twitter, Facebook and personal pages of the Internet to try to win the vote of about 78 million Mexicans registered to vote.
The head of the Mexican health policy argued that the severity of the measures taken in Mexico to stem the disease is due to the estimates made by the authorities for a pandemic scenario and the general recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) to address virus is transmitted person to person.
In this regard, said the Mexican authorities in 2005 that found a widespread pandemic of influenza, with an attack rate of 25 percent, "potentially" in the country would cause "more than 50,000 deaths, 250,000 hospitalizations and 15 million page views (medical) over a period of eight weeks. "
Among other things, Mexico suspended classes throughout the country at universities and schools, which affects 33 million students, and off non-core activities of the Government between 1 and May 5.
In Mexico City, which looks empty, with little traffic, were also canceled all the massive events, its more than 35,000 restaurants can only sell food to go, and closed bars, clubs, museums and zoos, among other things.
The panic created by this new virus has primarily affected the tourism industry, the country's third economic engine, which has resulted in cancellations of flights, cruises, travel and the departure of thousands of tourists.
Cordova argued that from the beginning was no evidence of person to person transmission in the Mexican case, since the last April 23 in Canada a laboratory confirmed the presence of a new virus in that country.
Therefore it was launched the same day the measures recommended by WHO for these cases, such as social distancing, closing schools and banning mass meetings.
Additionally, he insisted that the strain of influenza A virus is new in the world, so it was "not possible to know the epidemiological behavior and hence predict the development of the epidemic."
Furthermore, in the Mexican capital today intensified the work of disinfection of public places, especially in the metro in the city where cameras were installed to detect heat in patients with high temperature, antibacterial gel was divided among the passengers and disinfected facilities.
This operation will be expanded on Monday to all transportation systems capital, including taxis, and schools.
