Guia Lopes remains a major concern in Mato Grosso do Sul due to the spread of covid-19, with 8 other cases today and 34 in total. The incidence is 343 per 100,000 inhabitants.
But the disease is also progressing in 7 small municipalities, in addition to Campo Grande and Dourados. “We are having a very expressive increase, with 15 and even 25 a day,” said Health Secretary Geraldo Resende.
At Guia Lopes, the focus was on a refrigerator, which had to suspend the operation. Today, progress shows that another sector may be affected, that of pulp. Ribas do Rio Pardo, with a large area of planted eucalyptus, registered 4 more positive tests, going from 2 to 6 occurrences.
The bulletin increasingly reinforces the internalization of the disease, going to municipalities with approximately 10,000 inhabitants. Brasilândia, for example, has 13 cases, which means 109.5 cases per 100,000 people. The concern is growing because they are places without basic medical care.
The list of 23 positive results in 24 hours appears: 8 in Guia Lopes, 4 in Ribas do Rio Pardo, 2 in Campo Grande, 2 in Dourados, 2 in Bonito, 1 in Brasilândia, 1 in Sidrolândia, 1 Ladário, 1 in Jardim and 1 in Bataguassu.
In total, there are already 385 cases and 22 hospitalized, 8 in the ICU. So far, 201 people have been recovered.
Without respirators – Guia Lopes entered a blockade, determining the blockade of the movement of people, but she does not have ICU beds (Intensive Care Units) or respirators.
The municipality can sue the courts for a company to sell the devices to the municipality through bid exemptions. Nova Andradina took similar steps to obtain the devices.
In Brasilândia there are two respirators and a mobile ICU ambulance. Therefore, patients with more severe symptoms should be transferred to Bataguassu and Três Lagoas, where 5 and 10 beds are available in the ICU, respectively.
In Sonora, there are two respirators and an open process for the purchase of another two.
The Secretary of State for Health, Geraldo Resende, stated that the ministry is studying the shipment of mechanical ventilators to Guia Lopes da Laguna. It is not yet defined how many devices should be destined and there are also doubts about where they will be, Guia Lopes or Jardim. The secretary evaluates that the neighboring municipality, with a distance of 5 km, has a better service structure.
It also evaluates that it is not necessary to send respirators to Brasilândia and Sonora because there is a health structure in the nearby municipalities.
