Two infected with the Indian strain admitted to a Malaga hospital: Andalusia now has five cases

The Junta de Andalucía has confirmed this Friday two new positive cases of the Indian variant of Covid-19 , both admitted to a Malaga hospital with favorable evolution and “pending discharge” from the hospital.

Thus, the community already has five people infected by this strain , of which one was detected a month ago in Cádiz -a positive that arrived by plane- and the rest through freighters.

Therefore, Andalusian Minister of Health and Families, Jesús Aguirre , has emphasized the importance of vaccinating longshoremen to contain the arrival of the Indian strain, although the predominant strain in the community is the British one -which represents 91% of the cases of Covid-19-, although “the odd case” of a South African or Brazilian strain has also been detected.

Aguirre has reported that those affected have an “optimal” evolution and that none of them have been infected “within the community.”

According to the Board’s Health Minister, “there are two admitted who are evolving well and are awaiting discharge from hospital.” Specifically, the two cases have been detected by the Junta de Andalucía at the Hospital Clínico Universitario de Málaga , as Málagahoy has advanced this Friday.

New strains

The delegate of Health in Malaga, Carlos Bautista , recalled that SaRS-CoV-2 is a virus that has evolved and the health system has been responding and adapting to circumstances, so he has asked not to focus the alarm on the appearance of new variants of the coronavirus, but in the current pandemic situation.

This is how it has responded to the announcement of two cases of the Indian strain detected in a hospital in Malaga, ensuring that ” the problem is not the Indian strain , the problem itself is the pandemic.”

“We must be alarmed by the situation we have,” said Bautista to questions from journalists, recalling that there were moments of alarm due to the lack of masks , respirators or the collapse in hospitals, but, at the same time, “we have become alarmed for everything, we have solved it ».

Along the same lines, he has referred to the British strain . “Remember that we were alarmed because there were two cases of the British strain that had come from Gibraltar , and now the British one is the majority”, for which he has asked “not to divert the focus on whether the virus is Indian, British, South African or Brazilian” , but focus on fighting it.

The Health delegate has thus insisted that there are different variants of the coronavirus and that it will continue to evolve, so “the fundamental thing is to try to get the virus, whatever it is called and with the surname it has, to disappear”, he has pointed.

For this reason, he has made a call to “maintain tension” and not relax with the fulfillment of preventive measures, while advancing in the vaccination process, since “what is really relevant is that the virus is in the street” and It is affecting the economy and tourism because, “today, we are measured exclusively by the accumulated indices and an effort must be made,” he pointed out.
