On March 17, La Paz, Bolivia recorded 477 new infections and one death from covid-19, which brought 898,941 positive cases since the first infection of the disease was discovered in the United States in March 2020, and 21,477 people died. According to the latest report from the Bolivian Ministry of Health, the largest and hardest hit by the epidemic, the eastern part of Santa Cruz recorded the newest infections in 203, the Cochabamba power plant with 146 people, and in the other eight departments the figures varied between 2 and 68. Currently, there are 64,560 active cases, and the cumulative number of recovered patients is 812,904, the report said. The Ministry of Education also explained in detail that so far 6,032,751 people have received the first coronavirus vaccine, the second is 4,734,262, and 994,961 people have been vaccinated with a single dose of the drug. In addition, 1,157,677 people over the age of 18 and those with underlying medical conditions received a third dose of vaccine as a booster. Regarding the vaccination of minors, the report shows that 751,384 adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 received the first dose, 549,870 completed the vaccination schedule, and 698,853 children between the ages of 5 and 11 were vaccinated with the first dose, and 430,218 were vaccinated with the second dose. Vaccination began in Bolivia in January 2021, and since December it has been phased out to include children under 5 to 11 years of age, with the population “vaccinable” reaching about 11.5 million people. People over the age of 18 may receive up to a third booster dose, and may receive a fourth booster dose for certain groups, such as recent healthcare workers, police officers, people with underlying medical conditions, or people who need to travel abroad, and must adhere to the full vaccination schedule. Last week, the country saw a slight rise in cases after seven consecutive weeks of decline within the fourth wave, which reached its highest peak between late December and early January, and that day there was a historical record of more than 14,000 infections daily. Despite the reduction in cases, the authorities of the country have tried to maintain biosecurity measures and remain vigilant to avoid new waves. GIGABYTE/COPY
