Thursday saw both Spain and France surpass one million cases of coronavirus, lowering Colombia’s global ranking on the Johns Hopkins tally from six to eighth-place.
On Saturday, Colombia became the only other Latin American nation besides Brazil in reaching the worrisome seven-digit benchmark – 1,007,711 – despite the number of active cases standing at 68,008 or 907,379 patients recovered. And even though there has been a lowering of daily new infections since reaching the first “peak” of the pandemic on August 19 with 13,056 cases, on Wednesday, Bogotá saw one of the largest mass demonstrations against the government as an estimated 18,000 took to the streets, including 7,000 representatives of the Misak, Nasa and Pijao indigenous communities.
