Puerto Rico Governor Pedro Pierluisi reiterated this Monday through a television report that the world and Puerto Rico are still facing an emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which means that recommended prevention measures and established protocols will be maintained. as the land moves. towards herd immunity with coronavirus vaccination.
Today, a year ago, Puerto Rico began to experience a new reality, a global pandemic never seen before in its modern history. We have learned a lot, we have suffered great losses of human life, which we cry and remember, and we have made great strides in our fight against this virus “Pierluisi declared.
“I know the incarceration and restrictions have been harsh and we all want to return to normalcy. Although the contamination level has dropped significantly and the light is already visible at the end of the tunnel, we are still fighting the pandemic. We cannot let our guard down. We should all continue to use masks, keep a physical distance, use disinfectant and take preventive measures “, the governor emphasized.
Look at the message:
The general manager claimed that since the start of the pandemic last year, he has been actively making recommendations to prevent infections, strengthen the health system and prioritize the education system, maintaining these functions as governor.
“First, I was advised by a Scientific Coalition made up of experts to ensure that decision-making is based on scientific data. At the same time, I have been in close contact with all economic and social sectors to ensure that we address their challenges, ”he added, defending that his response plan to the pandemic was a multi-sector plan.
Pierluisi stated in his message that, based on the information he has received from the different sectors, “I have acted cautiously and conservatively, always protecting people’s health and seeking balance by mitigating the damage to our economy and ensuring our quality of life.”
The first director pointed out that the impact of the pandemic on the education of boys and girls has been “serious”. “Given that education is one of the greatest responsibilities we have as a society, I firmly believe that a gradual and gradual return to personalized education is essential to meet our students”In this direction he promised to adhere to the corresponding conditioning of all schools.
On the other hand, he recalled that through one of his first executive orders, he instituted access to diagnostic tests for COVID in Puerto Rico as a public policy to significantly increase access to diagnostic tests for COVID in Puerto Rico. Coviveos, the antigen testing events that Salud conducted en masse across the island.
This series of events, he said, has helped “to get a clearer picture of the situation of the virus and to identify, isolate and treat cases.” Despite these events, the designated Minister of Health, Carlos Mellado, today acknowledged that there has been a general decrease in the number of people attending the molecular test through the various providers, to which he has also invited, don’t let your guard down the advancements in vaccination.
“We will continue to make the necessary changes to the Executive Orders with great caution and based on scientific information such as positivity and mortality rates, hospitalizations and the capacity of our health system”, emphasized the general manager.
Review vaccination
On the subject of vaccination, he discussed the initial stages of vaccination being implemented on the island, starting with the vaccination of caregivers and professionals, first responders and staff working in public and private schools, as well as the efforts promoted for the vaccination of older adults. a process that was given higher priority via an administrative order from Health after the agency faced public charges.
“We are targeting most of the vaccines that have reached us since January on our adults over 65, who are the most vulnerable to this virus. With the advent of more vaccines, we are starting to expand vaccination to other vulnerable sectors and groups providing essential services, ”said Pierluisi. On this matter, Mellado previously said that in terms of vaccination priority, the next group is the one that corresponds to workers in the food chain, although he did not specify a precise date for the vaccination of these workers, including restaurant workers.
“Until we obtain immunity to the herd through mass vaccination, we need everyone’s discipline with the use of the mask, distance and prevention measures. It will take a little longer to be able to hug each other like we used to, but no one doubts, that will happen soon ”, Pierluisi said.
In his post a year after the start of the emergency shutdown on the island, he also argued that his emphasis on attending the pandemic is a balance of decisions, “ always ensuring the health and safety of everyone, but our country as little economy as possible and our quality of life ”.
Pierluisi also thanked President Joe Biden for guaranteeing the receipt of vaccines on the island, on the same terms as the United States, and recalled that the President has signed his coronavirus rescue plan, which is estimated to be possible. an impact of approximately $ 12,000 million in Puerto Rico and will allow an overwhelming majority of islanders to receive a check for $ 1,400.
“In my government, agility in terms of disbursing all aid to all our entrepreneurs and merchants, as well as direct funds to our people, has been and will be a priority,” he promised.
