For both, the peak of respiratory infections is not common at this time of year, as it is usual during the transition from the dry to rainy The rise is attributed to the neglect of the population in terms of hygiene measures and protocols , climate and a reproduction of the pattern in the Northern Hemisphere, as other countries such as Mexico, through the same situation. The latest H1N1 death was recorded on Monday. Patient was a 30 year resident of Pavas. A man aged 52 was the first victim of H1N1, 12 January, the second deceased was a man of 54 years on 14 January and the third death was a young man of 30 years on 25 January by H3N2.
