Quito, Apr 20 (EFE).- The pandemic is causing growing concern in Ecuador, where long waiting lists for intensive care unit beds, the spread of more aggressive coronavirus variants and a slow vaccine rollout are all exacerbating the situation.Health Minister Camilo Salinas said in an interview with Efe:"It's worrying and can become serious, if we can not obtain discipline from citizens and people who are getting vaccinated. With the first dose people think they can go out without a mask, some people believe that after the second dose they are protected, and it is not like that. It's worrying because we are seeing total indiscipline and people think that the disease has passed."
