Porto Alegre showed signs of stabilization in both the short and long-term trends.

Marcelo Gomes highlighted the need for caution in relation to the next few weeks, especially in relation to possible advances in actions to make more flexible measures to reduce contagion in the state capital.

Campo Grande, in Mato Grosso do Sul, did not confirm a signal of stabilization in the long-term trend, returning to the signal of decline in this indicator. According to the InfoGripe coordinator, although the short-term trend has maintained a sign of stabilization, it is still necessary to act with caution in flexibility actions.
