It is difficult for a country to have even reached 100,000, ”he said, referring to the tests carried out by the country, which as is known is the sum of molecular and serological tests. Vizcarra recalled that next week 800,000 additional rapid tests and another 350,000 molecular tests arrive in Peru. "The positive cases, a week ago were 15,600. We have increased an average of almost 1,700 cases daily. What reflection does this leave us? That these new people have been infected a week or two before, in the midst of a State of Emergency, surely because they did not respect the distance of one meter when they went to do their shopping in the market, "said the president.
