The Ministry of Public Health (MSP) reports (computer translated) that two new cases were registered in Pichincha with the new variant (B1.1.7) of the COVID-19 virus, which was reported by the United Kingdom to the World Health Organization (WHO) on December 14, 2020.
These cases respond to a 64-year-old man and a 12-year-old girl, without any relationship. The first one entered national territory with a negative RT-PCR test, on January 11, from the United Kingdom. The second patient did not register trips in the last six months. Both citizens receive medical treatment in two health houses in Quito.
This state portfolio, after the positive results of the genotification and the respective notification of the two new cases, activated several health brigades to lift the epidemiological fence around their relatives and close contacts, a strategy that is in charge of the National Directorate of Epidemiological surveillance.
