Covid-19 deaths up after the elections

[Dolores]

Labs around the country turned out results for only 1,098 cases in time to make Bulletin #110 that includes results up to Monday, 6 July 2020. Public Health Minister Rafael Sánchez Cárdenas explained in his Tuesday, 7 July 2020 Coronavirus briefing that the staff at the labs took off for voting, and also the labs did not have sufficient kits to complete the testing. This has resulted in a recent record low of 302 confirmed cases for the bulletin. Yet there is a high 17 additional recorded deaths.

Hospitalizations are at 3,823 and 211 persons are in intensive care units, 77.25% of these in Greater Santo Domingo and Santiago, the two main cities.

I can confirm that Covid-19 cases and deaths have spiked upwards in Moca. There are currently no beds available at the hospital and patients are being sent to Santiago. Additionally and sadly, the morgue is currently full to capacity.

I keep hearing the rumour that they are planning a 24 hour lockdown, and the health minister is asking Danilo to do this. What do people think?

I would prefer the people would not think at all, but strictly follow the regulations. You have probably heard of PISA study. What kind of "thinking" are you expecting?

Australia apparently just went back into a strict 6 weeks lockdown. I just can’t imagine that happening here. I certainly hope not. It must be very difficult for the government to decide what is best to do. I think it was right though to open up for visitors. Most of the ones coming that I know or see on SoMe or here on dr1 are either home owners, have family here or are just used to coming here a lot and are sort of snowbirds then although not the season.
