Abstract
In March 2020, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) arrived in Bolivia. Here, we report the main clinical findings, and epidemiological features of the first series of cases, and a cluster, confirmed in Bolivia.
For this observational, retrospective and cross-sectional study, information was obtained from the Hospitals and the Ministry of Health for the cases that were laboratory-diagnosed and related, during March 2020. rRT-PCR was used for the detection of the RNA of SARS-CoV-2 following the protocol Charité, Berlin, Germany, from nasopharyngeal swabs.
Among 152 suspected cases investigated, 12 (7.9%) were confirmed with SARS-CoV-2 infected by rRT-PCR. The median age was 39 years (IQR 25–43), six of them male. Two cases proceed from Italy and three from Spain. Nine patients presented fever, and cough, five sore throat, and myalgia, among other symptoms. Only a 60 y-old woman with hypertension was hospitalized. None of the patients required ICU nor fatalities occurred in this group.
This is the first report of surveillance of COVID-19 in Bolivia, with patients managed mainly with home isolation. Preparedness for a significant epidemic, as is going on in other countries, and the deployment of response plans for it, in the country is now taking place to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the population.

In Bolivia, the first two cases came from Italy. Especially in the north of that country, significant epidemics are going on. For the moment of the arrival of the first Bolivian COVID-19 case, there were 7,375 cases in Italy, with 366 deaths. The ninth, eleventh, and twelfth cases came from Spain. For the moment of the arrival of these cases, the last on March 15, 2020, there were 7,988 cases in Spain. That issue has been a common trend in Latin America now, imported cases from Italy and Spain [<xref rid="bib27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>,<xref rid="bib41" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>,<xref rid="bib42" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>]. This highlights the relevance of the spread of the COVID-19 due to population movements that has affected Bolivia, but also countries in South America, and most in the Latin American and the Caribbean region.</p><p id="p0085">As has occurred in other affected countries elsewhere, there is a risk of local clusters of transmission from imported cases [<xref rid="bib1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>,<xref rid="bib43" ref-type="bibr">[43]</xref>, <xref rid="bib44" ref-type="bibr">[44]</xref>, <xref rid="bib45" ref-type="bibr">[45]</xref>, <xref rid="bib46" ref-type="bibr">[46]</xref>].

Ten of the twelve cases were younger than 60 y-old, and with no risk factors, except in two cases with hypertension and a history of community-acquired pneumonia. Then, the clinical evolution was favorable with no complications and no deaths among these patients. Early healthcare with appropriate training of healthcare works would be critical to keeping mostly this in a similar trend for future cases in the country that is now taken severe actions, such as home isolation and quarantine [<xref rid="bib51" ref-type="bibr">[51]</xref>, <xref rid="bib52" ref-type="bibr">[52]</xref>, <xref rid="bib53" ref-type="bibr">[53]</xref>, <xref rid="bib54" ref-type="bibr">[54]</xref>], primarily to protect those with risk factors. According to the National Institute of Statistics of Bolivia, for 2019, there were 11,513,101 inhabitants. From them, 10.19% corresponded to people older than 60 years-old [<xref rid="bib55" ref-type="bibr">55</xref>]. For some risk factors, such as diabetes mellitus, Bolivia is amongst the country with the lowest prevalence, around 6.6% in 2016 [<xref rid="bib56" ref-type="bibr">56</xref>]. However, is estimated that a third of the Bolivian population presents high blood pressure [<xref rid="bib57" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>], which is considered among the most prevalent risk factors in patients with COVID-19, for worse clinical progression [<xref rid="bib50" ref-type="bibr">50</xref>], then the case 2 in Santa Cruz, was hospitalized for close monitoring while having age and hypertension as risk factors.</p><p id="p0100">Bolivia is a developing country with limited resources. In this scenario, the previous overlapping health events, such as dengue [<xref rid="bib27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>], chikungunya, Zika, hantavirus and even hemorrhagic fevers caused by arenaviruses [<xref rid="bib58" ref-type="bibr">[58]</xref>, <xref rid="bib59" ref-type="bibr">[59]</xref>, <xref rid="bib60" ref-type="bibr">[60]</xref>, <xref rid="bib61" ref-type="bibr">[61]</xref>], as well as regular viral respiratory infections [<xref rid="bib32" ref-type="bibr">[32]</xref>, <xref rid="bib33" ref-type="bibr">[33]</xref>, <xref rid="bib34" ref-type="bibr">[34]</xref>], may pose a challenge for diagnosis, and the healthcare together the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.</p><p id="p0105">There has been a rapid surge in research in response to the outbreak of COVID-19 [<xref rid="bib62" ref-type="bibr">62</xref>]. During this early period, published research primarily explored the epidemiology [<xref rid="bib63" ref-type="bibr">63</xref>], causes, clinical manifestation and diagnosis [<xref rid="bib64" ref-type="bibr">64</xref>], as well as prevention and control of the novel coronavirus. Although these studies are relevant to control the current public emergency, more high-quality research is needed to provide valid and reliable ways to manage this kind of public health emergency in both the short- and long-term, including therapeutic options [<xref rid="bib65" ref-type="bibr">[65]</xref>, <xref rid="bib66" ref-type="bibr">[66]</xref>, <xref rid="bib67" ref-type="bibr">[67]</xref>, <xref rid="bib68" ref-type="bibr">[68]</xref>, <xref rid="bib69" ref-type="bibr">[69]</xref>, <xref rid="bib70" ref-type="bibr">[70]</xref>, <xref rid="bib71" ref-type="bibr">[71]</xref>].</p><p id="p0110">During the current phase of COVID-19 outbreak in Bolivia, only of imported cases, all of them are being tested by rRT-PCR. However, the question is if the spread occurs rapidly in the country, with community-transmission as is now observed in other countries in the continent [<xref rid="bib72" ref-type="bibr">[72]</xref>, <xref rid="bib73" ref-type="bibr">[73]</xref>, <xref rid="bib74" ref-type="bibr">[74]</xref>], Bolivia, as well as other low- and middle-income countries in the region, e.g. Haiti, Venezuela [<xref rid="bib75" ref-type="bibr">75</xref>], Nicaragua, among others, will not be able to afford large-scale diagnostics [<xref rid="bib24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>]. Therefore, in the absence of testing, triage based on clinical case definition or presumptive diagnosis should be prioritized. A proposal for surveillance at that point, if diagnostics are limited, is to develop a definition of a clinical confirmed case. As occurred with chikungunya, and Zika, in most countries in Latin America, this would be “a patient with fever, cough and other respiratory symptoms, not explained by other etiological agents or causes, that is diagnosed in a municipality where at least a laboratory-confirmed case was identified” [<xref rid="bib76" ref-type="bibr">[76]</xref>, <xref rid="bib77" ref-type="bibr">[77]</xref>, <xref rid="bib78" ref-type="bibr">[78]</xref>].</p><p id="p0115">The number of patients that may require ventilatory support and attention at an intensive care unit (ICU) may collapse the health system of larger countries. In the case of Bolivia, there are only 35 ICU beds. Then, as expected, the health authorities are working on the general beds that can be rapidly converted to ICU beds and some general hospitals to be converted into critical care hospitals. Additional physicians and nurses are now widely trained in critical care medicine and specifically on COVID-19 in order to answer the epidemic. A national telehealth program is running for multiple purposes, including training on COVID-19. Albeit that, it is debatable whether countries such as Bolivia can fund the additional cost of critical care units from our limited health budgets [<xref rid="bib24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>,<xref rid="bib27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>], that need to attend not only the epidemic of COVID-19 but also other non-communicable diseases as well as communicable diseases, such as dengue, diarrhoea, malaria, HIV, tuberculosis, among many other diseases [<xref rid="bib27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>,<xref rid="bib75" ref-type="bibr">75</xref>].</p><p id="p0120">Finally, in the absence of vaccines and specific treatments available and approved for COVID-19, the only available public health tools to control person-to-person transmittable diseases are isolation and quarantine, social distancing, and community containment measures, and this is now in place in Bolivia, as well as in most countries of Latin America [<xref rid="bib54" ref-type="bibr">54</xref>,<xref rid="bib79" ref-type="bibr">79</xref>]. There is an urgent need to train most of the healthcare workforce on biosecurity, isolation, and quarantine, in order to be massively applied in the country. If these measures are implemented soon, more possibilities to control spreading will have the countries, which is even critical in countries, such as Bolivia, with limited resources.</p><p id="p0125">In conclusion, while the global awareness and response to the COVID-19 pandemic are well known, each country faces its considerations and scenarios to face the epidemic in their territories. In the case of Bolivia, the less developed nation of South America, national and international cooperation, advise and support, lead to enhance surveillance and early case detection of COVID-19, scaling up the training activities at the healthcare sector and the community for proper education as well as quarantine. In this report, the first 12 confirmed cases were analyzed, showing that most of the evolve positively with no severe disease nor fatalities. Nevertheless, preparedness for a significant epidemic, as is going on in other countries, and the deployment of response plans for it, in the country is now taking place to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the population.</p><p id="p0130">Preparedness in South America should include the increase in the diagnostic capacity for rapid testing for the virus, including not only imported but also secondary and tertiary cases. It is important to avoid the delay from identification of suspected cases to their confirmation and isolation, in order to affect the possible disease transmission [<xref rid="bib25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>]. Also, there is a need for improvement of the volume of personnel trained to run such tests, and to warrant an adequate stock of materials needed to do them. Health authorities should train, equip, and strengthen the diagnostic capacities of hospital laboratories close to infectious disease and emergency departments to reduce the time to deliver results, manage confirmed cases and contacts more rapidly, and preserve strict infection control measures [<xref rid="bib25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>]. Finally, in the differential diagnosis with other febrile conditions, especially in Latin America, also coinfections with dengue [<xref rid="bib75" ref-type="bibr">75</xref>] and with respiratory viruses, such as Influenza and Metapneumovirus [<xref rid="bib80" ref-type="bibr">[80]</xref>, <xref rid="bib81" ref-type="bibr">[81]</xref>, <xref rid="bib82" ref-type="bibr">[82]</xref>], among others, already reported together with SARS-CoV-2, should be considered.</p></sec><sec id="sec5"><label>5</label><title>Limitations</title><p id="p0135">The main limitation of our study is the lack of long follow up of the patients, but this analysis is a rapid preliminary study for the outbreak assessment in Bolivia, focused on epidemiological and clinical aspects. Secondly, still, there are no available serological tests to assess the antibody response. Third, due to constraining in the use of the rRT-PCR, only initial testing was provided, although after ceased of symptoms, for the case hospitalized, it will be repeated to assess if became negative. More comprehensive contact tracing for these cases should be performed to assess the possibility of community transmission. Finally, soon, Bolivia will also need to have sequencing and phylogenetic studies that would be useful as this may diverge from other SARS-CoV-2 isolates or strain, that even, would be related to clinical evolution and outcomes.</p></sec><sec id="sec6"><title>Funding source</title><p id="p0140">Universidad Franz Tamayo, Cochabamba, Bolivia.
