The correct sampling corresponded to the number of occurrences attended in the months of September to December 2019, and from January to April 2020. The total number of attendances in the period of 2020 (6,158) was very close to that presented in 2019 (6,160). The overall average of calls in 2019 and 2020 was 1.540 occurrences.
