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.
