Chile pandemic: COVID cases rising despite vaccination campaign
Al Jazeera, 17 Mar 2021
COVID-19 infections and deaths are rising sharply in Chile despite the country having one of the world's most efficient inoculation campaigns.
Thirty-three percent of the population has already been vaccinated but that has not been enough to give its residents the 80 percent herd immunity needed.
Hospitals are overflowing with coronavirus patients and quarantine curbs will be imposed next week.
