Resumen
Desde hace siete meses cuando, se registró el primer contagio por coronavirus en Costa Rica, hubo una primera etapa de 90 días con una baja cantidad de casos, pero desde la segunda semana de julio la curva de contagios creció de manera exponencial, al punto que, en la primera semana de septiembre de 2020, había cerca de 49 mil casos reportados. Sin embargo, entre asintomáticos, sintomáticos leves y otros, la cifra real podría estar en los 80 mil y 100 mil personas que ya tuvieron infección por covid-19. Así lo indicó Juan José Romero, coordinador de la Maestría en Epidemiología de la Universidad Nacional
(UNA).
Seven months ago, when the first coronavirus infection was recorded in Costa Rica, there was a first stage of 90 days with a low number of cases, but from the second week of July the infection curve grew exponentially, to the point that in the first week of September 2020 there were nearly 49,000 reported cases. However, among asymptomatic, mildly symptomatic and others, the real figure could be the 80,000 to 100,000 people who have already had covid-19 infection. This was indicated by Juan José Romero, coordinator of the Master's Program in Epidemiology at the National University (UNA).
