Chile to bolster health system in pandemic-hit south


SANTIAGO, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) -- Chile will strengthen the health system in the country's southernmost Magallanes province, which has been grappling with a severe novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the Health Ministry's undersecretary of assistance networks, Arturo Zuniga, said Monday.

Remote and lightly populated, the region has registered between 200 and 250 daily cases of infection, which is tantamount to "having 18,000 daily cases nationwide. That is a lot," said Zuniga.
