A total of 394 patients diagnosed with coronavirus (COVID-19) have been cured and discharged since they rigorously remained socially isolated in their homes, Health Minister Víctor Zamora affirmed on Tuesday.
"This is very important because they, knowing themselves to be carriers of the virus, have strictly respected the indications of the Ministry of Health (Minsa), thus preventing other members of the community from contracting the virus, by isolating themselves from contact with others," Zamora said in press conference at the Government Palace.
