00:00Well, effectively, in this moment, the country is being affected by an outbreak of gastrointestinal disease,

00:07a diuretic disease that affects the entire population, both children and adults.

00:15We have even had doctors who have called me, who have had to be handled in the emergencies

00:23by the clinical state they are in and the state of dehydration.

00:28It is also a national disease.

00:32It is a clinical condition that manifests itself with high fever,

00:38general malaise, lack of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea.

00:50And all of this together leads to a state of dehydration

00:59and this can really affect the health and life of these people.

01:05Are they seasonal outbreaks?

01:08It is associated with the season, because remember that in this period,

01:13generally, viruses proliferate.

01:18And we are thinking that due to the limitation that this virus has,

01:29it is a virus that has a frame of a week, 5 to 7 days,

01:35and that after that, it begins to improve.

01:40We are thinking that this is a virus.

01:43It can be an enterovirus.

01:46The one that has been detected right now is the rhino enterovirus.

01:54We do not know if it is another enterovirus, a Coxsackie, an Echovirus,

02:01but we are thinking that it is a virus

02:08due to the limited state, because the disease has a limited frame.

02:14Doctor, in addition to this gastrointestinal virus of December,

02:19we are seeing many cases of flu infections.

02:22They are even prolonged infections and people say,

02:26I get well and I go back.

02:29Yes, that has been part of what we have been experiencing since mid-October, November,

02:35generally for the winter period, these viruses proliferate.

02:39Currently, we have had a series of viruses circulating in the country,

02:44such as the influenza virus A and B.

02:50We also have the respiratory syncytial virus,

02:56the metaneumovirus, the adenovirus, the coronavirus, not COVID.

03:04And now, according to the notification of the Public Health Ministry,

03:09some cases of COVID are being detected.

03:13That is the epidemiological situation that we have in the country

03:19in relation to these viruses.
