Trinidad is the capital of the department of Beni (like a US state I guess), which set out to go door-to-door passing out ivermectin as described here in a since-deleted NYTimes article published around May 19.
Weird English because of translation problems.
A 68-year-old woman who coughed and had a fever was one of the 30 positive cases of most concern yesterday on the first day of house-to-house raking and potting in Trinidad, Beni. The elderly person was transferred to the isolation center that opened its doors. The health brigades visited 6,620 homes, with a total of 33,097 families.
Defense Minister Fernando López reported last night that 30 confirmed cases and 227 suspects were found. Beni entered an encapsulation before the collapse of his hospital system. 850 people collaborated yesterday. "What was seen in the humble houses is the predisposition and collaboration of the people. There were no people on the streets, "assessed the authority. In the house-to-house raking, baskets were distributed. Photo: ABI
The elderly person with symptoms "was assessed by the health personnel in the isolation center," explained Maikol Guardia, health coordinator from the Trinidadian municipality, who later specified that "the family decided to take the lady home, so we don't have patients at the center. "
The doctor specified that 42 brigades - made up of a doctor, a nurse, a support technician, a military man and a police officer - began working from 7:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Interesting team composition. I guess the guys in uniform assure cooperation?!
"6,620 homes have been visited. On average 33,097 families have been visited, 257 cases have been found, 30 confirmed and 227 suspects. We are attacking the coronavirus by identifying it and when it is positive these people are going to go to the recovery center, "said the minister during a press conference.
Mobile testing? They did bring a support tech?!
If they're really testing, that's a low infection rate, right?
227 suspects -- so they are waiting for test results, not testing -- confusing!
According to Rear Admiral Luis Fernando del Pozo, yesterday 18% of the population of Trinidad was covered. "All those who tested positive were isolated at home, with stable symptoms. They are receiving the treatment ”, he highlighted. Beni is the second department (after Santa Cruz) most affected by Covid-19. The capital of the department concentrates most of the infections.
Unspecified treatment might be ivermectin, from the May 19 article.
The isolation center is prepared to receive up to 500 people. It is located in environments of the Autonomous University of Beni. "People are susceptible because they think they will be taken out of their homes. They don't want to go downtown. They delivered food to the families and in some houses it was detected that some had already been cured, "said Rocío Hanssen, a Beniana journalist. 331 apples were visited yesterday on the first day of encapsulation that will last until Saturday.
The baskets
Beni The operation also allowed 2,330 food baskets to be delivered to the families from Benin, after a tour of 331 blocks, of the 369 that were targeted. López “It is a very good degree of efficiency, but we want to reach 100%. The demographic density is higher than we thought, "Defense Minister Fernando López said during a press conference to assess the first day of encapsulation in Trinidad.
It looks like they've done 331/369 = 90% of the town. Does that mean 90% have received ivermectin?
