For the first time since the end of June, Rio Grande do Sul has regions classified as yellow flag again. The last time RS presented regions of low epidemiological risk was in the eighth round, between June 30 and July 6. In week 23 of the Controlled Distance model, launched this Friday (09/10), the State only displays a yellow and orange flag (medium epidemiological risk).
The regions of Bagé, Palmeira das Missões and Pelotas are the three that showed improvement and passed the yellow flag. The other 18 regions are still classified as orange flags.
Classified as a red flag (high epidemiological risk) in round 22, the Covid region of Santa María showed improvement in indicators and returns to the orange flag this week.
The improvement of the indicators has been verified in the last three rounds. In 21, the 21 regions were classified as orange, and in 22, only the Covid region of Santa María was marked with a red flag. Round 23, in turn, brings three regions in yellow and 18 in orange. Of the 497 municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul, 284 did not present a record of hospitalizations and deaths from Covid-19 in the last 14 days.
See preliminary map of the 23rd round: https://distanciamentocontrolado.rs.gov.br.
Across the state, there was stability or improvement in most indicators, such as records of new hospitalizations (-29%) and deaths (-7%). There was stability in the number of patients admitted for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) or for Covid-19 in the ICU and a slight increase in those admitted with Covid-19 in a clinical bed.
Even counting patients hospitalized for other causes, the figures point to a slight drop in the number of occupied ICUs. Maintaining the total number of ICU beds resulted in a slight increase in the proportion of free beds for each occupied by Covid-19.
0-0 rule
As there are no regions classified as red flag, only yellow or orange flag, it will not be necessary, in this round, to apply Rule 0-0, which allows municipalities belonging to regions classified as high risk and that do not have a death or death record. hospitalization. of residents in the past 14 days can adopt orange flag rules.
For information, of the 417 municipalities (9,912,608 inhabitants, 87.5% of the total) with the orange flag, 80 of them (10.3%, 1,165,152 inhabitants) did not present hospitalizations or deaths in the last 14 days.
Of the 80 municipalities (1,416,997 inhabitants, 12.5%) in the yellow flag, 54 (358,009 inhabitants, 3.2%) did not present hospitalizations and deaths from Covid-19 in the last 14 days.
Co-managed regions
Of the 21 orange flag regions, only Uruguaiana, Bagé and Guaíba have not yet joined the Controlled Distance co-management system. The other 18 already adopt alternative protocols to the flags defined by the government: Santa Maria, Capão da Canoa, Taquara, Novo Hamburgo, Canoas, Porto Alegre, Santo Ângelo, Cruz Alta, Ijuí, Santa Rosa, Palmeira das Missões, Erechim, Passo Fundo, Pelotas, Caxias do Sul, Cachoeira do Sul, Santa Cruz do Sul and Lajeado.
