Now, what have we achieved together, working as a city, after we had very serious days here? I give you an example. April 6: 460 deaths above normal. The normal is less than 40. On May 10, a month and four days later, we achieved zero Covid victims for the first time. Guayaquil was recognized as one of the cities that most drastically fell the curve in the shortest time. Guayaquil did it really fast. From there we start to have several zeros. A few days ago we had for the first time a week with zero Covid deaths .
In terms of medications, would you say that hydroxychloroquine is the drug that has won this battle?
I am not a doctor, nor a scientist. I tell you what I've observed and what the doctors say. I don't think it is exclusively hydroxychloroquine, but that it has been a basic factor in what has been achieved, definitely yes. We have not had a single report of anyone having a heart attack from the use of that type of medicine. And I repeat, it is used frequently and for a very long time. Sometimes for life.
