\n SANTIAGO \u2013 When most Chilean nurses finish their long shifts caring for the country\u2019s many COVID-19 patients, there is little else on their minds but seeing their families, eating and sleeping.<\/p>\n

Not so Damaris Silva, who twice a week when she finishes her shift at 6 pm picks up her violin and returns to the ward.<\/p>\n

Silva, 26, spends several hours walking the corridors of the Hospital El Pino, in the capital Santiago\u2019s poor southern La Pintana neighborhood.<\/p>\n

She plays a mix of popular Latin songs, bringing a moment of levity for both patients \u2013 some of whom have spent weeks in critical care \u2013 and exhausted colleagues.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs soon as I walk in the patients brighten, they seem happ<\/a>ier; they smile and applaud,\u201d she told Reuters.<\/p>\n

Her aim is, she says, to \u201cgive a little bit of love, of faith, of hope with my violin. Every time I do it, I do it from my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her initiative is one of several dreamed up to lift spirits in Chilean intensive and critical care wards, which are at present close to saturation because of the new coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Others have included strangers writing letters to patients, medical teams singing Happy Birthday and applauding those who are discharged after winning their fight against COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Chile has at present close to 300,000 cases of the virus and more than 6,000 resulting deaths, which started in the capital where the majority of the population is focused but has since spread to more remote, less-well resourced parts of the country.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the Chilean health minister referenced \u201cpositive indications\u201d due to a sustained decrease in coronavirus infections and positive tests in Santiago and some other big population centers.<\/p>\n

The health minister, Enrique Paris, insisted however that strict quarantines would remain in place across a large part of the South American country.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
