São Paulo Mayor Bruno Covas (PSDB) said today that a possible relaxation of the quarantine will only be possible if the population helps and respects social isolation.
When asked about the possibility that the new car rotation, which will take effect tomorrow, will generate crowds on public transport, the Tucano politician said that everything depends on the collaboration of São Paulo residents.
“If everyone who can stay at home stays, it will not happen. At the beginning of the quarantine, we had the same restrictions, we had 80% fewer passengers on buses, today we only have 67 or 68% fewer passengers, we had isolation 58%, 57% and today 47%, “he told GloboNews. “If people respect the issue of staying home again and we have 55% or 60% isolation again, there is no reason to rotate. The more people participate, the more we can think about flexibility. The less we have to toughen up with measures difficult. “
Covas again said that there is no exact deadline for relaxation. The politician also said that the idea is to avoid confinement, a stricter isolation measure.
Every day we have a meeting with the Secretary of Health and we evaluate the numbers. We even studied other types of rotation and we believe that with this we can return to the rates we had at the beginning. Blocking is always the most difficult. It is not enough that the city of São Paulo adopt it. People live in São Caetano, in Barueri and go through São Paulo, “he said.
Caster takes effect tomorrow
Starting tomorrow, the vehicles will be launched to travel through the country’s largest city every other day, according to the end of its plate. There will only be one exception on Sunday, May 31, when rotation will not apply.
The traffic restriction will be valid every day, including weekends and holidays. In addition, it will last 24 hours a day.
The measure, related to the fight against the new coronavirus, aims to increase the rate of social isolation in the city. For this reason, this new rotation model will remain in force indefinitely.
