Goiás Governor Ronaldo Caiado (DEM) has withdrawn, for now, from the implementation of more restrictive measures against the coronavirus. He had announced that he would issue a decree with more “rigid” rules, but on Thursday (14), he complained that he had no support to make the changes, said that he is still open to dialogue and that there is no point “making a decree to be made” . ”
“We are building an alternative (…) A decree must have the participation of the government, class entities, mayors, authorities and the sentiment of the population. It is not worth making a decree to make a decree,” he said in a interview with television. Anhanguera
Last Tuesday (12), Caiado had already informed that the new decree would be more “rigid” and would only release the operation of areas considered essential. At that time, he also said that there would be a “significant closure of economic activities”, as a way of trying to achieve a number of isolation of the population close to 60%.
Now the Governor has changed the tone. I did not say that I will not issue a new decree. But he affirmed that the document cannot be “dead letter”. But he said he would not edit new rules without consulting everyone involved. In this sense, he affirmed that the state cannot assume all the responsibilities.
“It is not only the state of Goiás that is responsible. If he is unemployed, it is the government’s fault. There is no bed in the ICU and the patient died, it is the government’s fault. There is no way. Everyone should have a responsibility.” share that, “he criticized.
“What I’ve been doing is talking. What good is a decree without the support of the mayors? […] What will the governor solve without the mayors, the authorities, the political leaders, the business leaders involved in the process? “, I ask.
Using numbers, Caiado spoke about the worsening situation in Goiás regarding the coronavirus. He recalled the first decree published on the subject, on March 12, and said that at that time he had massive support from the population, which, according to him, currently does not occur.
“When we issued and published the first decree, from March 12 until we reached 100 cases, it was a period of 39 days. Just yesterday [terça-feira, 13], we exceed 100 cases per day. We had less than one death a day. We had nine cases yesterday. Today we are harvesting exactly what we planted, “he said.

The Governor also regretted the decision announced by the Governor of the Federal District, Ibaneis Rocha (MDB), that It will prohibit public hospitals in its territory from accepting the admission of patients with Covid-19 from the surrounding region, where there are several municipalities in Goiás.
He said he received the decision with “concern and sadness” and that he even called Ibaneis, but received no response. Caiado also claimed that the surrounding residents were contaminated in the federal capital, called for “solidarity” and classified the attitude as “retaliation.”
“I tried to talk to Ibaneis, I called twice to all the phones I have and they did not answer me. [Recebo a notícia] First, with great concern and sadness. Why was the virus brought to Brasilia? Because the people of Brasilia have a greater purchasing power there, people spent their vacations in Europe, in the United States, and became a source of contamination. The Goiás workers who live in Goiás are domestic, cleaning or other state agencies, who work in Brasilia and live in Goiás. These people were contaminated in Brasilia, “he said.
“Suddenly, the person says: ‘Look, now we do not receive anyone.’ What we are asking for at this moment are gestures of solidarity. If this is the reciprocity that we are receiving, we will work. What we cannot do at this moment is create a retaliatory process. We are working with lives, “he complained.
The administrator also questioned the measures taken by the mayors of the surrounding cities to relax isolation, releasing, according to him, the opening of establishments such as bars and nightclubs.
“How long have I been alerting Entorno? What was the action of the mayors? Open nightclub, open shopping center, open bars, open concerts. If everyone does not get involved, the figure of the governor cannot be held responsible”
