The Undersecretary of Health reported that the coronavirus curve has flattened. However, the term was not completely clear.
Since yesterday the meaning of flattening the curve of the coronavirus in Mexico has attracted the attention of the entire country due to the confinement and the increase in the number of infections that exist.
The coronavirus has generated the largest crisis in the world both in health and in the economy, not to mention Mexico, which is in a very critical situation . That is why it is necessary to know what it means to flatten the curve of the coronavirus.
The coronavirus curve has become one of the concepts that has most attracted the attention of Mexicans, who are in confinement and taking preventive measures so as not to be infected by the coronavirus.

Hugo López-Gatell, Undersecretary of Prevention and Health Promotion in Mexico announced that the coronavirus curve had flattened. Given this, doubts began to arise from what was said by the specialist in a press conference.
Although it can be heard as a positive thing, which it is, flattening the curve does not mean that the pandemic is ending, as has been believed. Rather, it has a broader explanation that at the same time is a positive step for Mexicans.
The term flatten the curve means that the number of infections is no longer constant as it was in the first days, where every two days there was a double increase in people infected. This means that the spread of the virus has been delayed due to staying at home.
However, and although it is a good omen, preventive measures and containment should not be discontinued because, despite the fact that the spread has been delayed, cases have continued to increase and people have ignored the precautionary measures.
So far Mexico is among the countries most affected by the coronavirus and hospitals are reaching a point where they are on the brink of capacity. Which is why it is more important than ever to be at home protecting yourself from the coronavirus.
