The Sarcobamba Comprehensive Health Center, in the city of Cochabamba, Bolivia, applies remote care to detect possible cases of COVID-19 in the region and prevent further contagion.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Patients are followed up on their illness through telephone calls every two days. \"Of the 20 swab samples we take, five are positive; that has to be multiplied by four, because there is a family environment, and if we multiply that, it increases exponentially. As they are not seriously ill, they are treated at home with the appropriate drugs,\" explains Juan Carlos Sanchez, coordinator of the COVID-19 vaccination.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
