Governor João Doria (PSDB) will announce the extension of the quarantine in the state of São Paulo due to the coronavirus pandemic. This is already the second extension of the quarantine that began on April 7 in the 645 municipalities of the state. The state records 853 deaths from Covid-19 and 11,568 confirmed cases of contamination.
The quarantine was scheduled to end on April 22. With the extension, the details of the duration period should be disclosed on the afternoon of this Friday (17) during a press conference at the Palácio dos Bandeirantes, in the South Zone of São Paulo.

The SP government is studying the expansion of the quarantine; announcement must be made this Friday
Infectologist David Uip, coordinator of the Coronavirus Contingency Center in São Paulo state, said this morning that planning against the disease began in February and that the peak should be in May. “The ascension curves are the expected and even better than we imagined because we understand that with this social distance it was possible to flatten, at the beginning, the ascension curve and decrease the number of infected. We are waiting for this peak to occur and the challenge is it’s not a peak of Mount Everest but a mountain peak, “he said. “We are on the rise of the curve, but that week of May will peak, we are still working on the data.”
According to him, the virus is concentrated in the São Paulo metropolitan region. Uip reinforced the need for social isolation to reduce the impacts on health units, especially on the public network. “The population needs to be convinced that distance is absolutely essential. First, because it improves by decreasing the rate of transmissibility, then it decreases the rate of disease, but fundamentally it can impact less than 20% of the patients who will need to be hospitalized and the 5% who go to the ICU ”
