The numbers reported at the national level sum the infected confirmed by PCR tests and rapid tests, while the number of cases by province reports only the results of PCR tests. The inconsistencies, such as a decrease in the data that has been present in recent weeks, are due to the cleaning of the database, according to health authorities.

They denounced that on April 28, in the Limón Campus, located in the province of Esmeraldas, four policemen and six soldiers chased a 29-year-old man, up to a privately owned land where he was beaten with sticks by 10 members of the public force, including after lying motionless on the ground.

💊 The Alliance of Organizations for Human Rights also denounced that Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital is not guaranteeing access to medicines for older adults with cancer. Currently, the elderly cannot access the medication that has been prescribed: the Xtandi / Enzalutamide capsules, due to the context of COVID-19, because their mobility is restricted and also because the Hospital cannot provide them with the necessary medication due to lack of stock. . The lack of these medicines could generate deadly consequences for patients, for this reason they urged the State, the Ministry of Health and the Hospital to guarantee the health of all, as established by the Constitution.
