They argue that this complicates the understanding of the state of viral circulation in the province. Yesterday saw the death of a person with severe respiratory problems in addition to long waiting list for confirmation.
The decentralization of tasks in the study of suspected samples were concluded just a week and then be discontinued because the National Health did not respond to the request for provision of reagents.

In this regard he added that having the kits and reagents are essential when it is returned to the public activities of the province and governed the possibility of a resurgence of cases of this disease.
