As death toll surges the young party as if there is no tomorrow

As part of national strategies, many more people are on the streets, which has led to an increase in cases of the new coronavirus in the country. Some of them go out to work and others are making “inappropriate” use of this facility, said, Enrique Lap Cortez, general director of the Social Security Fund (CSS), referring to the rise in cases in the last days.

More people have gotten sick, more patients come to hospitals, to intensive care units. Deaths are going to increase, the official warned.

“We are having more cases than we had in the worst moment of the initial phases of July,” said Lau Cortés. In his opinion, it seems that “time” has influenced the population to lose their fear of the new coronavirus

Young people feel that “nothing is going to happen to them” and are acting as if it were their last party, as there will be no more in the future, said the official alluding to the recent parties that have been suspended by the authorities and where young people have been found in these activities.

This debauchery causes the young to infect the elderly who are at risk, he stressed, in statements to TVN Noticias.

The epidemiological report of the Ministry of Health (Minsa) of this Sunday, November 29, reported 1,276 new infections, to account for 164,729 accumulated cases in the country.
