Mexican Interior Minister Olga Sanchez Cordero said on the 27th (local time) that Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s condition was “stable and in good shape.” President Lopez Obrador was quarantined at the National Palace, a presidential palace, after being tested positive for Corona 19 on the 24th. After taking office, the press conference on weekday morning, which he had not missed, was left to the Interior Minister Sanchez and continued his work by phone call or video.
President Jesús Ramirez, a spokesman for the president, told Bloomberg that the president’s symptoms were mild and that he was resting in quarantine. On the 24th, the day of the diagnosis, he had a mild fever, and the fever fell after taking a drug similar to the antipyretic analgesic paracetamol (acetaminophen), the spokesman said.

Inquiries such as Interior Minister Sanchez, Foreign Minister Marcelo Evrard, and Deputy Health Minister Hugo Lopezgatel, who is responsible for responding to Corona 19, were negative in the Corona 19 test, and fortunately, the infection did not spread throughout the government.

The fact that political, economic, and religious giants all caught up with Corona 19 clearly shows the severe Corona 19 situation in Mexico. The cumulative number of corona19 confirmed cases in Mexico is 1.79 million, and the death toll is 152,000. Compared to the population of more than 120 million, the number of confirmed cases is not the highest in the world, but considering that the positive rate is close to 40% compared to the test and the fatality rate is also the world’s highest at 8.5%, the actual number of infected persons is estimated to be much higher than the official statistics. do. The number of deaths, the fourth largest in the world, also appears to be understated. The Mexican National Statistical Office said that the number of Corona 19 deaths from January to August last year was 56% more than the number revealed by health authorities during the same period.
