Uruguay is Latin America’s positive outlier in a region ravaged by the pandemic. Luke Taylor explains how simple measures and following the science has put it head and shoulders above richer countries in fighting the novel coronavirus Latin America continues to suffer some of the worst tolls of covid-19, with over seven million recorded infections1 accounting for nearly half of all daily deaths.2 But in the region's Southern Cone there is a clear outlier wedged between Brazil to the west, with over 3.5 million confirmed cases, and Argentina to the east, with half a million. Somehow, Uruguay has a lid on the pandemic. Its relatively small population of 3.5 million made controlling the transmission of covid-19 easier but never guaranteed its success—Panama, home to four million in Central America, has recorded over 100 000 cases and 2000 related deaths. Uruguay has recorded 1527 infections and 142 deaths at the time of writing, despite beginning to reopen its schools3 in March and never enforcing lockdowns. Many South American countries also acted swiftly with stricter obligatory lockdowns—among them neighbouring Argentina—but still saw infections soar. “Uruguay continues to provide hope” for the region, says Marcos Espinal, the head of the Communicable Diseases and Health Analysis department at the Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO). The country’s response could offer various lessons to the region and the world, among them how to test more efficiently using a system first pioneered to tackle syphilis during the second world war.

乌拉圭队击败covid-19。就是这样

乌拉圭是拉丁美洲在该流行病肆虐地区的积极异常值。卢克·泰勒(Luke Taylor)解释说,简单的措施和遵循科学的方法使它在与新型冠状病毒的斗争中领先于富裕国家,而拉丁美洲持续遭受着covid-19惨重的伤亡,记录在案的感染超过700万,1占近半数2但在该地区的南锥体,西部到巴西确诊病例超过350万,东部到阿根廷只有50万之间,明显地离群值。不知何故,乌拉圭对这一流行病有一定的了解。它相对较小的350万人口使控制covid-19的传播变得更加容易,但始终无法保证其成功。中美洲有400万人口的巴拿马,记录了10万多例和2000例相关死亡。乌拉圭在撰写本文时,已记录了1527例感染和142例死亡,尽管三月份开始重新开放其学校3,并且从未实施封锁。许多南美国家也采取了行动,采取了更加严格的强制性封锁措施,其中包括与阿根廷相邻的阿根廷,但仍然看到感染率飙升。泛美卫生组织(PAHO)传染病与健康分析部门负责人Marcos Espinal说:“乌拉圭继续为该地区提供希望。” 该国的回应可能会给该地区和世界带来各种教训,其中包括如何使用第二次世界大战期间率先解决梅毒的系统进行更有效的测试。少于 … 尽管三月份开始重新开放学校3,但从未实施过封锁。许多南美国家也采取了行动,采取了更加严格的强制性封锁措施,其中包括与阿根廷相邻的阿根廷,但仍然看到感染率飙升。泛美卫生组织(PAHO)传染病与健康分析部门负责人Marcos Espinal说:“乌拉圭继续为该地区提供希望。” 该国的回应可能会给该地区和世界带来各种教训,其中包括如何使用第二次世界大战期间率先解决梅毒的系统进行更有效的测试。少于 … 尽管三月份开始重新开放学校3,但从未实施过封锁。许多南美国家也采取了行动,采取了更加严格的强制性封锁措施,其中包括与阿根廷相邻的阿根廷,但仍然看到感染率飙升。泛美卫生组织(PAHO)传染病与健康分析部门负责人Marcos Espinal说:“乌拉圭继续为该地区提供希望。” 该国的回应可能会给该地区和世界带来各种教训,其中包括如何使用第二次世界大战期间率先解决梅毒的系统进行更有效的测试。少于 … 泛美卫生组织(PAHO)传染病与健康分析部门负责人Marcos Espinal说:“乌拉圭继续为该地区提供希望。” 该国的回应可能会给该地区和世界带来各种教训,其中包括如何使用第二次世界大战期间率先解决梅毒的系统进行更有效的测试。少于 … 泛美卫生组织(PAHO)传染病与健康分析部门负责人Marcos Espinal说:“乌拉圭继续为该地区提供希望。” 该国的反应可能会给该地区和世界带来各种教训,其中包括如何使用第二次世界大战期间率先解决梅毒的系统进行更有效的测试。少于 …
