Reported COVID-19 infections in Colombia skyrocket


Reported COVID-19 infections in Colombia skyrocket
April 11, 2021
Colombia’s Health Ministry reported skyrocketing COVID-19 infections on Sunday as multiple cities are on lockdown to curb new outbreaks.
In its daily report, the Health Ministry said it received reports on another 17,483 new infections and 281 deaths in the previous 24 hours.
Infections and deaths have skyrocketed since last month when the government reported the lowest number of infections and optimism about its National Vaccination Plan.
Coronavirus infections and deaths
The latest surged knocked down healthcare in the cities of Medellin and Barranquilla where local authorities have issued a 24-hour curfew that will last at least until Tuesday morning.

What next for Bogotá as COVID-19 cases surge and quarantine ends?

As Colombia has witnessed during the last two weeks, the third wave of coronavirus contagion is highly infectious and alarming given that daily cases have surpassed – or are perilously close to –  the peaks of the two previous waves. On Sunday, the country confirmed 17,483 additional cases after processing 68,067 PCR tests.
The day’s numbers are lower than 21,078 confirmed on January 15, 2021, with the second peak, yet significantly higher than 13,056 on August 19, 2020 with the initial peak of the pandemic. Equally worrisome of the spike in new infections are projections by health authorities that the third wave could peak at the end of April,  timeline that is still – at least – two weeks away. Another important issue of concern is the fact that when the initial wave peaked, the country had endured more than four months of a strict lockdown that began easing with the national government’s decreed reactivation of economic sectors. In January, a series of the three-day quarantines and evening curfews in Bogotá managed to decelerate the spread of the virus, free up ICU occupation and put the capital back in Yellow Alert.

Can Colombia prevent another lockdown amid Brazilian COVID-19 threat?
April 9, 2021
Some of Colombia’s largest cities have been forced to reinstate lockdowns as a new surge in COVID-19 infections is knocking down hospitals and slowing down vaccination efforts.
Health Minister Fernando Ruiz and Bogota Mayor Claudia Lopez declared an orange alert in the capital on Thursday, restricting its 7 million inhabitants’ access to shopping centers, banks and public buildings and a nightly curfew.
Authorities in Medellin and Barranquilla were forced to impose a 24-hour curfew until early Tuesday after their hospital systems collapsed.
The Brazilian threat
Valle del Cauca Governor Clara Luz Roldan warned that she may shut down Cali and surrounding cities as a COVID-19 variant from Brazil appears to be saturating hospitals.

The Onset of COVID-19 in Colombia
