The government speaks of ‘downward trend’
During the press conference of the Ministry of Health, held this afternoon, in Brasilia, the Secretary of Health Surveillance, Arnaldo Medeiros, said that there was a reduction in cases of new infections and deaths in the last two weeks. Also according to Medeiros, the specific increases can be attributed to the increase in the number of tests performed on the population; the ministry’s goal is to evaluate at least 46 million people.
Every week we learn and study this disease. What do we check? We found that there was a small increase in relation to the number of cases, a relatively small increase in relation to the number of deaths, but when we evaluate both [últimas] epidemiological weeks has a reduction in both the number of cases and the number of deaths
Arnaldo Medeiros, Secretary of Sanitary Surveillance
“And when we evaluate in relation to the different regions of Brazil, there was a downward trend. On the other hand, we are testing much more in Brazil than we have tested in the past,” he justified.
Vehicles gather to obtain 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.
