Fiocruz calls for revaluation of flexibility in the AM
Fiocruz (Fundação Oswaldo Cruz) recommended today that measures to prevent covid-19 be strengthened in Manaus and in the state of Amazonas. In a technical note, the foundation observes the upward trend in cases of the new coronavirus and affirms that the situation “is strongly influenced by the records associated with the residents of Manaus.”
In both cases, this growth is still relatively slow, but persistent ”, says the text.
The foundation recommends the adoption of measures such as:
- Strengthening forms of individual and collective protection
- Greater ability to test suspicious cases and contacts
- Greater sensitivity of local epidemiological surveillance, with the expansion of the capture of suspects through passive demand and active search for cases, to identify and prove contacts, constituting the chains of transmission.
Yesterday, in an interview with Globonews, the mayor of Manaus, Arthur Virgílio Neto (PSDB-AM), said that he had proposed to Governor Wilson Lima (PSC) a new two-week detention in the capital of Amazonas after the increase in the number cases of 19. However, the governor declared on social networks that there is no possibility of a new confinement in the state, and confirmed for today the return of face-to-face classes in the state public school system.
WHO calls for $ 35 billion for vaccines
The Director General of the WHO (World Health Organization), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, asked the international community to mobilize US $ 35 billion (about R $ 197.4 billion, according to the quote of the day) for the Act- Accelerator, which aims to accelerate the development and distribution of coronavirus vaccines and drugs.
“This is less than 1% of the amount pledged by G20 governments for stimulus packages,” he said.
Vehicles gather for information
In response to the decision of the government of Jair Bolsonaro to restrict access to data on the covid-19 pandemic, media Twitter, El Estado de S. Paulo, Folha de S.Paulo, O Globo, G1 and Extra formed a consortium to work collaboratively to seek the necessary information directly from the state health departments of the 27 units of the Federation.
The federal government, through the Ministry of Health, should be the natural source of these figures, but recent attitudes by the authorities and the president himself question the availability of the data and its veracity.
