Colombia registered 26 victims of coronavirus on Tuesday, and lowest number of deaths in one day since the virus claimed 31 lives on May 28, 2020. The significant lowering in single day fatalities was also accompanied by a deceleration in new infections, and which on the same day, added 1,435 cases. Although Tuesday’s cases were slightly higher than a low (1,124) reported by the Ministry of Health for September 6, the total number of active cases will drop below 20,000 on Wednesday.

The encouraging numbers confirm that despite circulation of the MU variant (first detected in the country in January this year), and disdainfully termed as the “Colombia variant” by British newspapers, greater immunity is the result of an aggressive vaccination drive that has administered 38 million doses among the country’s 50 million inhabitants. Close to 16 million residents have completed a double dose cycle.

In Bogotá, Mayor Claudia López confirmed that 70% of residents have received a first dose of the coronavirus vaccine, while 46% of the population aged 12 and over (6,001,867) have completed the cycle. “We are ready to receive hundreds of thousands of vaccines and go from 70% to 90% of the vaccinated population. Vaccination is the best prevention, together with biosafety protocols, so that we continue with the economic reactivation of Bogotá,” stated López.

After a week in which vaccines have been limited to first doses given depleting supplies, on Monday a shipment of 2 million Sinovac vaccines arrived from the Chinese manufacturer and the Government of Spain handed-over an additional 957.600 AstraZeneca vaccines through the WHO’s Covax mechanism. The donation from Spain is the largest from a European Union member nation. On Wednesday, a shipment of 1.2 million Janssen vaccines is expected to arrive in the Colombian capital.

Old medium wave transmitter Radio 10 Gold to Radio Caroline

Old medium wave transmitter Radio 10 Gold to Radio Caroline : The former English sea transmitter Radio Caroline has been broadcasting since last week with more power on the medium wave. For this, the station has purchased a 'new' station and there is a Dutch touch to it: it is the old medium-wave transmitter that Radio 10 Gold used until 2013. Before Radio 10 acquired a national FM lot in 2013, the station broadcast as Radio 10 Gold at 828 kHz from Heinenoord under Rotterdam. A 20 kW medium wave transmitter (Harris DX25) was used for this. This transmitter, after years of dust in storage, was taken over by Caroline and shipped to England. Meanwhile, the new transmitter is operational for Caroline and the radio station broadcasts with more power. With what power is sent out, the radio station does not want to say, but rumors are that it is 4 kW. As a result, the reception has also improved considerably in the Netherlands. Caroline was officially l...
