The Ministry of Health reports that the entity has the availability of Covid-19 beds of 83 percent.
The increase in infections is reflected in the demand that is registered in the general hospital, Hospitalito de la Juárez, the Issste clinic and in the Mexican Social Security Institute.
Due to the population entitled to the IMSS in Mazatlan and throughout the south, the demand for care is greater.
The Social Security Respiratory Care Modules (MARSS) enabled to care for Covid patients remain open every day and demand does not decrease in the three schedules, although the morning predominates.
On weekends the influx drops a little but people come who after presenting a fever, cough and headache at work, are no longer allowed to enter and ask them to go to Social Security.
Caution
Kenia Hernández explained that this measure has been taken at work because several colleagues have already been infected and this affects the company.
Currently, if they detect the slightest discomfort, they are returned to be evaluated by the doctor and if they can take the test, the better, added the lady.
But, in the IMSS, the tests are only applied to pregnant women, children and diabetics.
“We salaried workers cannot be paying for a test every time there is a cough,” said Hernández.
