It was also reported that their monitoring of contagions has entered a very complicated moment, since they begin to lose traceability. This means that it is becoming impossible to know who infected whom, where or under what circumstances.
So far there are 398 cases confirmed as imported, that is, 68% of the total. 151 patients, 26% of the total, are associated with the importation. 36 people, therefore, have no travel history.
On the other hand, Ana Lucía De la Garza Barroso, director of Epidemiological Operations Research, reported at a press conference that these 36 people, so far, have no record of a recent trip to Latin American or European countries, much less direct contact with patients diagnosed with a contagion, which is reflecting an accelerated advance in community transmission.
These infected, who have not been recognized the origin of the virus, are or were capable of infecting three more people and those, in turn, were able to spread the virus to the same number of people.
