Remarks were made as he noted that there is a downward trend in new cases and deaths from COVID-19, except in specific cases like in Arequipa region. We hope that despite specific situations in some regions such as Arequipa this will be overcome, and the downward trend will continue in the coming weeks, so that we can say that the second wave has reached the final portion of the descent stage, he stated.
