Washington. Los casos de covid-19 subieron la última semana en Norteamérica y cayeron en Suramérica, informó este miércoles la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS), al resaltar un incremento de casi 20% de nuevos contagios en toda la región.

“En Norteamérica, las infecciones aumentaron en un tercio debido a las alzas repentinas en Estados Unidos y Canadá”, afirmó la directora del ente, Carissa Etienne, en conferencia de prensa.
