Chinanews.com, May 31. According to Peru’s “Gazette”, the new crown epidemic data released by the Peruvian Ministry of Health on May 30 showed that there were 3,818 new confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases reached 1,955,469; a single day’s increase There were 140 deaths and a total of 69,342 deaths.
On the 30th local time, Peru’s Minister of Health Oscar Ugart stated that the Pongo el hombro platform already has information on the location, date and time of immunization for adults aged 63 and 64 years old, and that the population’s immunization will start on the 31st. .
Ugart expects that as more new crown vaccines arrive in Peru, immunizations for adults over 60 years old will end in late June.
Therefore, immunizations for people over 50 years of age may start earlier than planned.
He said: "The 50 to 60 year old group has a larger population, and they may be vaccinated during July and August."
The minister also emphasized that the current government will leave to the next government an overall plan for vaccination of all people over 18 years old by the end of the year.
He reiterated that as of July, Peru has guaranteed to receive more than 10 million doses of the new crown vaccine. In addition, due to the signing of contracts with various laboratories, there are 50 million additional doses guaranteed.
Ruiz, a researcher at the National Institute of Health (INS) of the Peruvian Ministry of Health, warned that people with beards are at greater risk of contracting the new crown.
Experts say that masks can reduce the risk of infection or transmission of the new crown virus. The key is to stick to the face, but beards of different lengths and densities will create a certain gap between the mask and the face, which may reduce the effectiveness of wearing a mask.
Ruiz explained that, in addition, according to their experiments, men with beards have 20 to 80 hairs per square centimeter, and the space between the two hairs is 1.1 to 2.7 mm, which is equivalent to the length of the new coronavirus. 1,000 times of the aerosol particles may cause droplets and virus particles suspended in the air to stay and enter the human body through the space of the mask.
