SANTIAGO, April 16 ― Chile's health authorities said yesterday they believed a dip in the record case numbers the Andean nation has seen over the past week represents a “stabilisation” of a second Covid-19 wave thanks to strict lockdowns and a rapid vaccination programme that has fully innoculated a third of the population.
Health minister Enrique Paris told reporters he hoped the 9,000 record daily cases reached last week represented the peak of the latest outbreak.
