The former rector of the UdeG stressed that the population must be made aware of the risk that exists because the contingency is far from over and is going through a critical moment in the winter season.
“The pandemic is a red flag in general. The worst is seen in intensive care areas. We should be on alert. We have relaxed much more than in April or May when the situation was less serious and we were more concerned ”, he argued.
