Over 2,400 COVID-19 cases have been registered in Yucatan, 80% of them have recovered

MÉRIDA.- Yucatán exceeded 21 thousand Covid-19 infections this Sunday, October 25th, although 17,355 of these patients have recovered 100%, which represents more than 80 percent.

Until this Sunday, October 25, the deceased amount to 2,473 in the state of Yucatan.

Today 162 patients were reported in public hospitals, seven deaths and 107 new infections of Covid-19 in Yucatan.

So far, as we have reported, the pandemic remains under control in Yucatán, unlike what happens in northern and central states of the country, which are registering outbreaks, apparently due to the winter season.

Fortunately, winter in Yucatán is mild, that is, extremely low temperatures are not recorded, and the “cold”, locally known as “heladez” (“frost”) only lasts a few days after the passage of cold fronts, known in the region as nortes.

This is the medical report for Sunday, October 25:

As we have pointed out, in the economic reopening the most important data are hospital occupancy and daily income. Today we have 162 patients in public hospitals.
