Perez Rico reminded the population that the third wave is expected by the end of this month, so he urged to continue taking preventive measures, so that this wave does not impact as strongly as in European countries. At the same time, he pointed out that today one person with COVID-19 in this territory can infect two more, due to the fact that the Effective Reproduction Rate (ER) is 1.13.
