Health Minister Nelson Teich today lamented the more than 10,000 deaths from the new coronavirus in the country, as announced by the federal government yesterday. On a social network, the minister dedicated the message to mothers who cannot celebrate “Mother’s Day” together with children who are victims of covid-19.
Teich also greeted health professionals working to combat the pandemic, saying he would commit to doing “the best” to treat the disease.
“Today, May 10, we wake up with an enormous duality of feelings, which on the one hand brings us the joy of a day as special as Mother’s Day and, on the other, the sadness and suffering of having reached the terrible mark of more than 10,000 deaths from covid-19 in Brazil. I wanted to leave a message of hope to all the mothers here. Those mothers and those children who are at the forefront of this battle, working in hospitals, pharmacies, supermarkets, security, in transport and many other essential services. And I want to speak mainly with those mothers who today mourn the loss of their children and with the children who today cannot celebrate the day with their mothers. For this reason, I leave you here my feelings and my commitment to do my best so that we can win this terrible war quickly, “he wrote on Twitter.
