As of July 20, 2023, a total of 4,517 cases of COVID-19 have been registered in Peru. While the numbers have not been updated, Dr Claudia Quezada-Osoria warned that cases had increased over the past two weeks.
Experts in infectious and tropical diseases noted that virus cases could worsen within six months if the government does not promote vaccination against the new variant.
“You have to remember that three doses are not enough. Given the emergence of the omicron subvariant, continued vaccination is necessary. However, health promotion remains weak and six months from now, we may see new increases in cases”hold.
Doctors point out that the symptoms of subtype influenza viruses are similar to those of common flu and extra caution must be taken. Therefore, he said, it is necessary to strengthen infection monitoring, use masks and quarantine when necessary, to prevent the increase of cases.
“It’s no longer just a cough or stuffy nose, it’s also conjunctivitis, loss of smell…so some checks and avoidance are recommended to keep family and colleagues safe at school or work”he elaborated.
Claudia Quezada added that there is currently no vaccine for babies. However, the authorization age for the Pfizer vaccine is 3 to 5 years old and the Moderna vaccine is 6 to 11 years old.
