Overview
- The national epidemiology bulletin reported SARS-CoV-2 as the top respiratory virus in weeks 44–45, with 37 positives among 154 guardia PCR samples (24% positivity).
- Formosa’s latest weekly report logged 1,422 tests and 341 positives (24% positivity), with 408 active cases and no hospitalizations.
- Provincial authorities urged a return to basic protections, including masks in closed spaces, ventilation, hand hygiene, distancing, and not sharing personal items.
- Formosa’s epidemiology director, Claudia Rodríguez, said vaccination is constrained because doses are held in customs, placing responsibility on the national Health Ministry to release them.
- Infectious-disease specialists framed the uptick as a cautionary signal rather than an emergency, stressing vaccination and protection for older and immunocompromised people.
