BRASÍLIA – The Ministry of Health described the publication previously made in defense of social isolation as the main measure to combat the new coronavirus as “human error.” In the text, which was finally eliminated, the folder recognized the lack of remedies that prevent or put an end to Covid-19, which goes against the speech of President Jair Bolsonaro. The ministry now claims the information was misleading and was therefore removed.
“The Ministry of Health clarifies that the response to the tweet published this Wednesday morning (18) was deleted – and later corrected – for bringing disinformation. A human error that has already been corrected ”, says a text sent by the press office to GLOBO.
Despite insisting on early treatment for Covid-19 and opposing social isolation, the folder acknowledged on Wednesday night that there is no “effective solution” to serve the population and avoid the risk of contagion of the new coronavirus in the country. .
The folder reinforces the importance of early care against Covid-19 and preventive measures, such as hand washing, the use of alcohol gel and masks, until an effective solution is found to serve the population and avoid risk. The protocol for treating the disease and the use of medications is at the discretion of health professionals, in accordance with the wishes of patients, “says another extract from the note.
The ministry also stated that it is working to obtain “a safe, effective vaccine in quantity as soon as possible to make it available to Brazilians.” Throughout this week, the portfolio holds a series of meetings with vaccine producers with promising results. The ministry promises to present an immunization plan for the Brazilian population, with an initial focus on risk groups to be defined.

Previously, the ministry published on its official Twitter account that there is no vaccine, medicine, food or other substance that prevents or ends Covid-19. The comment was made in response to a follower who suggested using azithromycin to treat the disease. The drug is also defended by Bolsonaro.
“Our greatest action against the virus is social isolation and adherence to individual protection measures,” said the post of the Ministry of Health, which ended up being deleted an hour later.
At the end of the day, the Ministry of Health was in favor of the “early treatment” of the disease on social networks. In the text, the folder notes that there is a possibility of an increase in the number of cases of the disease in the country, but that “only people who are in the risk group and the elderly should be careful and avoid contact with the audience”.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, President Jair Bolsonaro (without a party) has defended the use of drugs such as Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin as a way to combat Covid-19, contradicting specialists and even members of the Ministry of Health.
