Infectologist David Uip, coordinator of the São Paulo State Coronavirus Contingency Center, asked to be removed from his duties. The announcement was made by Governor João Doria on Friday (8).
He released a letter in which Uip claims that he felt unwell and had cardiac and clinical changes. That way, you will have to rest for a few days.
São Paulo government extends quarantine until May 31
It is not the first time that the doctor abandons his duties. He had already been home for about 15 days after announcing that he had hired covid-19.
In his place in charge of the actions in the state is Dimas Covas, director of the Butantan Institute.
See below the full letter published by Uip:
Last Wednesday, May 6, I felt uncomfortable, with cardiac and clinical changes. After the medical evaluation, I started a battery of tests for diagnostic clarification.
Today I feel better, but, for medical advice, I will need to be away from my activities in the Coronavirus Contingency Center of the State of São Paulo for a few days.
It saddens me that, in this difficult time of crisis, of a very serious pandemic, which has caused so many deaths in our State and has caused great suffering among Brazilians in São Paulo who have lost family and dear friends, as they were unable to be physically present.
However, I am fully convinced that São Paulo is on the right track. And it’s saving lives.
The collaboration of my 15 colleagues at the Contingency Center, made up of doctors, scientists, virologists, teachers and researchers, has been fantastic.
The union of the efforts of this group of volunteers has unequivocally contributed to define strategies both to face the epidemic and to help the population in the public health network.
I thank Governor João Doria and the Secretaries of State and Lieutenant Governor Rodrigo García for all the support and support they have given us.
I am temporarily away and waiting to be recovered, to resume my contribution to the Coronavirus Contingency Center, the São Paulo State Health Committee.
Thank you very much and see you soon.
