A nivel local, la pandemia de Covid 19 mató a 477 personas e infectó a 21,766.

Con el nuevo conjunto de acciones, fijado para mayo, la administración de Biden planea dejar que expire la emergencia de salud pública del coronavirus.

Esta es una señal de que el Gobierno Federal cree que la pandemia ha pasado a una nueva fase menos grave.

Esto es realmente significativo porque seguramente cambiará la forma en que el gobierno federal y los estados manejan las pruebas, tratamientos y vacunas que podrían dejar de ser gratuitas una vez que termine la emergencia.

El condado de Maverick ha visto una disminución significativa en los casos positivos. El mes pasado se detectaron menos de 70 nuevos casos positivos de COVID-19.

Esto es posible debido a la gran cantidad de personas que han sido completamente vacunadas en nuestra comunidad.

Las autoridades informaron que aproximadamente 57,557 (99.2%) personas en el condado de Maverick están completamente vacunadas.

Biden Admin. to Let Covid-19 Health Emergency Expire

By Jose G Landa

The United States Federal Government will be lifting all rules on the Covid-19 pandemic in May, ending the three-year pandemic that affected the entire country including Maverick County.

Locally, the Covid-19 pandemic killed 477 people and infected 21,766.

With the new set of actions, set for May, the Biden administration plans to let the coronavirus public health emergency expire.

This is a sign that the Federal Government believes the pandemic has moved into a new, less dire phase.

This is truly significant because it will surely change the way the federal government and states handle tests, treatments and vaccines - which could change from being free once the emergency is over.

Maverick County has seen a significant decrease in positive cases. Last month there were less than 70 new positive Covid-19 cases detected.

This is possible due to the large number of people that have been fully vaccinated in our community.

Authorities have reported that approximately 57,557 (99.2%) people in Maverick County are fully vaccinated.
