Bolivia will assume sovereign measures regarding the new coronavirus (COVID-19), assured yesterday, Monday, the Minister of Health and Sports, Jeyson Auza after the World Health Organization (WHO) put an end last week to the sanitary emergency after more than three years of the pandemic.
Auza said at a press conference that out of responsibility for the population’s health, the Government of Bolivia would maintain what they think is the most appropriate measures concerning COVID-19 and other epidemics.
“The worst mistake we can make is to give the population a sense of security that the disease has disappeared,” he said.
“Then, we must maintain the actions that have been taken in the sanitary emergency to safeguard the health of our people and little by little, from a responsible point of view, define the end of the emergency declaration,” Auza added.
No word, however, on the multiplying scientific evidence worldwide that COVID vaccines not only do no good but harm and even kill.
The Bolivian official pointed out that the South American country also faces respiratory infections due to the winter season.
In this sense, he announced that in the following hours, a meeting of the National Strategic Council for Sanitary Emergencies, formed by several ministries, would be convened to make determinations as a country.
In January 2022, the National Strategic Council for Health Emergencies suspended the requirement to present the COVID-19 vaccination card and negative tests for the virus due to the decrease in the number of infections and deaths caused by the disease.
