A

To review the agenda before we start, the hobby updates 19.

A

We are going to have a presentation about the population and also about a consolidation study, some other commissioner, that something will be added to the agenda.

A

Something to add to the traditional agenda that we had in mind.

A

Well, yes, I would like to add about. It is the anniversary, the 30th anniversary of the proclamation?

A

Yes? Well, we will have to do that for sure. No, no problem jasmine beats ferrara. She will not be able to be here today. She is not feeling well, but we hope you will join the gathering virtually in the session at 5 in the afternoon.

A

If any, commissioner does not feel well and what is the protocol.

A

Because the statute allows that, if you cannot attend a session, you.

A

Can do it remotely then the commissioners can participate in a remote way, remote.

A

And the votes are going to be made.

A

Out loud I thought, I understood. Sorry, the sound is not very good.

A

Let's start with the code update and 19 good as afternoon max tells me that at this time our screens are going to look a little differently. I thought I understood well, as always thanks for the time today to be able to offer this update of the cobi.

A

For the new year.

A

So, let's start right now: bank county in khanty, it has exceeded 34 thousand total cases of kobe 19. We have also lost more than 50 neighbors due to deaths related to elbow 19. I wanted to bring good news for this new year, but in terms of these metrics, unfortunately, our contagion rates are not good news.

A

They continue to increase rapidly,, we have 64 cases per 100,000 per week,, which is a very significant increase compared to previous weeks,, which used to be around 200 cases,, and this is much higher than the rates we had when the pandemic began. throughout December, January and February. 2021 is much more important than the rates we saw in e he winter of 2021, and when we continue through the slides, we will be able to observe.

A

The epidemiological curve has risen, 7 points today, and this is a significant increase from a month ago when it was presented- or we presented ourselves here with the previous figures.

A

The mortality rates.

A

Continue to increase themselves, which is really worrying, as well as hospitalizations.

A

But to summarize, there is a 10% increase in hospitalizations, which is really worrying.

A

This is the epidemiological curve.

A

Back to past comments, and here what we are looking at is the specific cases in banco del cob county at 19 in since march, 2020.

A

Now, if we increase, I can show you the epidemiological curve in december 2020. What is showing right now the increase since last year, you can see what, in this moment, is much higher than the previous year.

A

Now we can observe an increase due to the new var iante omicron.

A

You can also see a precipitous increase in cases since last week. The most significant increase in recent times.

A

And really the increase has been exponential, as you can see here in this graph.

A

This increase is still above compared to well above the delta variants and of the first infections of cody 19.

A

Stacy, based on this epidemiological curve,, could you tell us a little bit about when the new wave of omicron began when micro tests began in our area, because throughout thanksgiving there was an increase and then we continue to see an omicron increase, even though we didn't know it was a micron of that. But if we started to see this increase the weeks after thanksgiving it was around December. That's when we started to see an increase again and now We already observed that other effect of the omicron variant is really.

A

The festivities have been a time of in significant increase, and we see a repeated sequence in the last week in recent weeks, and we believe that since December 11, we are seeing an increase of at least 15% that may be related to the micro from this week and next week we will surely see really one or more cases even of ccoo, of 19.

A

This this exponential increase.

A

Right now, this variant is much more contagious than other versions, and our hospitalizations are definitely increasing and right now there really are therapies that can be done in your homes. Throughout of the country we are requiring to extend from.
