Health Mister Luis Francisco Sucre reiterated on Friday, June 4 that Panama is on the cusp of a third wave of covid-19 based on data recorded for three weeks.

After knowing new scientific evidence and the results of studies in the United States and the United Kingdom on the AstraZeneca vaccine against Covid-19, the Government decided to extend the interval to receive the second dose up to 12 weeks.
