Los Cabos has had two months without COVID-19 deaths
Los Cabos has gone over two months without a single fatality, resulting in a hospital occupancy rate of less than 1%.
The Coordinating Council of Los Cabos established the Covid Table, whose primary goal was to develop methods to avoid the city's health system from failing, two years and seven months after the first active case of Covid-19 was reported in the state.
The private initiative discussed the progression of the illness with health officials at least three times per week. The Coordinating Council's executive president, Julio Castillo Gómez, emphasized the need for businessmen's involvement in containing active cases throughout the pandemic.
"When there had not yet been a single case in Los Cabos—the first case was submitted in March—the Covid table had already been organized and discussed. The conversation at the table continued up until a month and a half ago. Three weekly meetings and a lot of work were involved. Three physical meetings each week were held for the first two years."
More than 100,000 people have recovered from Covid-19 during the health alert, and 2,738 people have died in Baja California Sur. In the municipality, two months have gone by without a single fatality, resulting in a hospital occupancy rate of less than 1%.
"We are now in a calmer environment since the last death report by Covid was reported at the beginning of August, which was virtually from August 8 to August 6 of this year. It's been two months since a Covid-related death has been officially registered; we hope this trend continues."
They also worked together on vaccination tactics, conducting vaccination drives inside the work centers that resulted in the vaccination of more than 1,000,000 300,000 persons.
97% of Baja Californians have received at least one dose of the biologic against Covid-19 as of the most recent cutoff date, and 85% had received two doses in the case of complete vaccination schedules.
