El Salvador’s president says Costa Rica applies less tests to appear fewer cases of covid-19


Bukele said "Costa Rica gives the perception of having flattened the curve, but the only thing they are doing is that the number of daily tests has decreased ”
...
(Replying to this)..
The statistics of the application of COVID-19 tests in Costa Rica do not show that the more tests, the more infected people appear. For example, on March 26, 677 people were tested, of which only 30 tested positive (4.43%). On April 8, 2020, 502 people were tested and only 19 tested positive (3.73%) and more recently, on May 4, 106 people were tested and only 3 tested positive (2.83%).

The application of massive tests in countries like Costa Rica where there is no community transmission of the virus would constitute the waste of an instrument whose international demand is extremely high at the moment.
