Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Ante la confirmación por las autoridades guatemaltecas del primer caso de Coronavirus (COVID-19) en Guatemala, Cruz Roja Guatemalteca eleva su alerta institucional a Roja con el objetivo de apoyar las acciones de respuesta de manera oportuna y eficaz.

Cruz Roja Guatemalteca como auxiliar de los poderes públicos en el ámbito humanitario se mantiene en estrecha coordinación con las autoridades guatemaltecas contribuyendo con lo establecido por el Ministerio de Salud Pública y Asistencia Social en el Plan para la Prevención, Contención y Respuesta a casos de Coronavirus (COVID-19) en Guatemala.

Cruz Roja Guatemalteca recomienda a la población mantener la calma, continuar con las medidas preventivas de infecciones respiratorias, estar informada a través de canales oficiales, evitar propagar rumores e información falsa, y sobre todo evitar la estigmatización y discriminación asociada a dicha enfermedad.
