It is true that there are fewer cases, but new ones continue to appear ", added Juan de la Cruz, while transferring that the number of children under 12 years of age who test positive in PCR tests continues to increase," because they are not vaccinated. "

"This confirms that vaccination serves to contain the virus," said the delegate, who took advantage of this appearance before journalists to condemn the attack, last Friday, against a guard at the Torrecárdenas University Hospital.
