In Colima, two cases of the UK’s Covid version were detected

In a virtual press conference, the deputy director of epidemiology, Diana Carrasco Alcantara, detailed that one of the cases B117 or UKwas registered in the platform of the Epidemiological System of Diseases (SISVER), for which complete data for its study is available.

The second case was detected from a sample from a private laboratory not registered with SISVER, but by the Institute of Epidemiological Diagnosis and Reference (Internal), which calls on laboratories to send samples for active epidemiological monitoring of the circulation of these types.

Diana Carrasco reported that the case registered with SISVER was found in a 35-year-old man who had gone to Mexico City in May. He later experienced symptoms such as fever, cough, headache, diarrhoea, chills, muscle aches, runny nose and abdominal pain.

He said the patient was managed with outpatient treatment and has already been discharged.
