Bogotá Mayor Claudia López introduced new coronavirus health measures on Monday as ICU occupancy reached 96%, and highest number since the outbreak of the pandemic in March, 2020.
During a press conference accompanied by the Minister of Health Fernando RuÃz and the district’s Health Secretariat Alejandro Gómez, Mayor López warned that the city’s health system could collapse as a result of the third wave of infections lasting an additional two weeks. López also sent a message to youngsters participating in protests stating: “I don’t want to stigmatize young people or people for their legitimate protests, but brooding on anger is useless.”
