Ecuador's health minister: No country will overcome the pandemic on its own

Berlin Sep 1 (EFE), (Camera: Rodrigo Zuleta).- Ecuador's Health Minister Juan Carlos Zevallos said that no country would overcome the pandemic without the help of other countries.SOUNDBITES OF ECUADOR'S HEALTH MINISTER JUAN CARLOS ZEVALLOS DURING AN INTERVIEW WITH EFE IN BERLIN:"I think that safety measures are much more developed in Ecuador rather than in Berlin. The use of masks in Ecuador is close to 100%, practically all people use masks.""There is also a difference regarding the requirement of being tested negative in a PCR test for all those people who enter Ecuador. This is something that is not compulsory in Germany. These are significant differences that I have found.""The possibility of international cooperation is the solution to the pandemic. Any country or city will overcome the pandemic on its own. The virus has expanded and the level of spread is so high than it is impossible to stop it without help. That is why international cooperation is very useful."
