The State Government announced this Monday that 17 of the 21 regions will have the orange flag in the 17th round of Controlled Distance. Porto Alegre is one of the areas that have been classified as medium risk for coronavirus. The capital of Rio Grande do Sul had had a red flag since June 23.
According to the state government, the decision arises from the stabilization of the spread indicators of Covid-19 and the occupation of beds. As a result, only the regions of Santo Ângelo, Cruz Alta, Ijuí and Santa Rosa obtained the red flag in this round.
In addition to the Capital, the other regions with the orange flag this week are: Taquara, Capão da Canoa, Pelotas, Lajeado, Santa Cruz do Sul, Novo Hamburgo, Palmeira das Missões, Canoas, Passo Fundo, Caxias do Sul, Santa Maria, Uruguaiana , Guaíba, Erechim, Bagé and Cachoeira do Sul
The preliminary map for the 17th round of controlled distancing, released last Friday, featured 10 regions with a red flag. After analyzing seven requests for reconsideration, the Crisis Office accepted the appeals presented by the Taquara and Passo Fundo regions, which are on the orange flag.
This Monday, Rio Grande do Sul beat the 3,435 deaths from coronavirus. Updated data from the State Health Secretariat (SES) still show that the State has a total of 125,813 infected since the start of the pandemic.
The four red flag regions add up to 79 municipalities, with 918,268 inhabitants, which represents 8.1% of the state’s population. Among them, 45 cities, which have 241,273 inhabitants (2.1% of the population) will be able to adopt orange flag measures for not registering hospitalization and death from Covid-19 in the 14 days prior to the count. Cities may adopt their own activity protocols, provided that they keep their respective information systems updated.
The areas of Santo Ângelo and Ijuí, which are classified as high risk for coronavirus, have already adhered to the co-management system, as well as: Taquara, Novo Hamburgo, Canoas, Porto Alegre, Palmeira das Missões, Passo Fundo, Pelotas, Caxias do Sul, Santa Cruz do Sul and Lajeado.
Red flag regions must follow tighter restrictions to avoid contagion from midnight Tuesday through September 7.
Rules
The regions of Taquara, Novo Hamburgo, Palmeira das Missões, Canoas and Porto Alegre obtained a final score of 1.50, that is, exactly in the middle between the orange flag (note 1) and the red flag (note 2). Thus, the Crisis Office decided, due to the context of stabilization of beds occupied by patients with Covid-19, to allow regions with a final score of 1.50 to turn orange.
The same logic was applied to the security lockout rule. When the bed occupancy of Covid patients increased, the government ranked regions that had had more than one red flag in the past three weeks, a two-week confirmation in orange to ensure they could reduce the level of restrictions. With the stabilization of the indicators, the government understands that it is possible to grant flexibilities given the improvement in the data in the last week.
Party conventions
The Crisis Office has also defined protocols for parties that wish to personally hold party conventions for the 2020 municipal electoral campaigns. The adjustments require the mandatory use of a mask, respiratory tag, cleanliness of the environments, occupation of seats or tables, which You must insert a social distance of 9m² between the people of the place, regardless of whether it is open or closed.
