Chinanews, October 3, according to Peru’s “Gazette” report, the Peruvian Ministry of Health released the new crown epidemic data on October 2 showing that compared with the previous day’s report, there were 3,267 new confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia in Peru. There were 524 new cases in 24 hours, and the other 2743 cases were adjusted and supplemented. The cumulative number of confirmed cases reached 821,564, making the total number of confirmed cases sixth in the world, second only to the United States, India, Brazil, Russia and Colombia; 74 new deaths in a single day , A total of 32609 deaths.

There are still 7383 people hospitalized for treatment, and more than 695,000 have recovered.

　　Although the Peruvian new crown pneumonia epidemic has entered a decline stage, the Peruvian Ministry of Health is preparing for a "highly probable" second wave of outbreaks. They are worried that the removal of restrictions and the relaxation of public vigilance will cause a second wave of epidemics.

　　Peruvian Deputy Health Minister Luis Suarez proposed a plan to prepare for and respond to a possible second wave of outbreaks in Peru.

Peru is currently the country with the sixth-largest cumulative number of confirmed cases in the world and the country with the highest death rate from new coronary pneumonia in the world.

On the evening of August 22, local time, the Peruvian police took a ban on a nightclub operating in violation of epidemic prevention regulations and detained a group of people. 15 people tested positive for the new crown.

　　Luis Suarez said that Peru is likely to have a second wave of epidemics, but it depends on the number of susceptible people in Peru.

Although it is impossible to predict the specific extent of the outbreak, Peru needs to make various preparations to prevent the second wave of epidemics that Europe is now experiencing.

　　He commented that the increase in confirmed cases in European countries such as Spain and France was because "the government has taken very rapid downgrade measures and the people have acted irresponsibly".

　　In view of this, the Peruvian Ministry of Health emphasizes that its mission is to "be vigilant about what may happen," because it is estimated that a second wave of epidemics may occur in Peru for as long as six months.

Due to the decrease in the number of confirmed cases in Peru, the Ministry of Health is seeking to determine the number of remaining susceptible people.

After conducting an epidemiological survey, the Ministry of Health determined that 75% of Lima’s 10 million people were not infected, but in other parts of Peru, the proportion of people who were not infected may be even less.

　　Experts say that the possibility of the new crown vaccine vaccine being marketed in the next few months will reduce the possibility of a second wave of epidemics, but the government should also consider "the behavior of the crowd after the removal of restrictive measures."

　　On the other hand, Luis Suarez said that the current number of molecular tests performed in Peru is relatively small because of the reduction in suspected cases, and it makes no sense to conduct random tests on uninfected populations, and reiterated that Peru is in a period of decline in the epidemic.

　　Luis Suarez admitted that Peru’s health and medical system infrastructure is very poor. When the pandemic began in March 2020, the entire country had only 300 intensive care beds, but it has now increased to 1,800.

Now, in view of the reduction in cases, the government will strengthen the improvement of the medical system, increase laboratories and train more epidemiologists.

He said: "The government needs to invest heavily in health. Looking ahead, we must be prepared for various emergencies."

　　In 2020, due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Peru's imports of mobile phone equipment have fallen.

According to data from Dominio Consultores, from January 2019 to August 2019, Peru imported a total of 4.8 million mobile phones, but in the same period in 2020, the import volume was 4.057 million mobile phones.

　　According to Fernando, a senior IT analyst at the consulting firm, this trend is due to the fact that the Peruvian mobile phone market is almost saturated, and almost everyone in Peru owns a mobile phone, so the demand is not so strong.
