Retrospective estimation of initial COVID-19 infections in the Santiago Metropolitan Region in Chile

CONCLUSIONS: The official records of COVID-19 infections in SRM and Chile underestimated the real number of positives and showed a delay of about a month in the dynamics of infections. This is not an isolated situation, as it is known to have been the case in other countries as well. However, it is important to have reliable estimates for a correct modeling of the spread of the virus.PMID:38359608 | DOI:10.1016/j.gaceta.2024.102357
