Eight people have died in the last 72 hours at the Central Hospital of Maracay by an unidentified disease, denounced Thursday as the president of the Medical Association of Aragua state, Angel Sarmiento.
At a press conference from the guild hall, the doctor said that this is four adults and four children, who presented malaise, fever, body spots that later became blisters and internal bleeding.
Sarmiento reported by Union Radio that the samples have already been sent to the National Institute of Hygiene in Caracas, to determine the disease that caused their death. He denied that the Central Hospital of Maracay is in quarantine.
He rejected information that has been circulating on social networks about a possible isolation of the health center for this reason. He said that in the morning a contingency occurred in the 1st floor, organized by the same patients, but is not a formal decision by the health authorities.
He said the Health Corporation of Aragua State (Corposalud) issue in the next few hours a statement to confirm the 8 deaths and are expected to give more details of what happened and the investigations being carried out to clarify the causes of the deaths.  https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.el-carabobeno.com%2Fportada%2Farticulo%2F88886%2Focho-muertos-en-hospital-central-de-maracay-por-enfermedad-no-identificada&edit-text=
