El ministro de Salud y Deportes, Jeyson Auza, agregó que “en la época más alta de la pandemia” se identificó la variante P1 brasileña en un 53% en los departamentos de Pando, Beni, Oruro, La Paz, Cochabamba y Potosí y la Lambda en un 18% en Oruro y Potosí.

Auza explicó que la presencia de la variante mu es catalogada por ahora como de “interés” y no de “preocupación” ya que no está asociada con la gravedad de la infección.
