In the case of Pelotas, the request had been sent by the regional association, while in Bagé it was sent by the municipality.
Understand what black flag protocols provide
According to the classification, the black flag is the maximum restriction foreseen by the management model, since both the hospital capacity and the contagion of the disease have reached critical levels in these two areas, so that both have a very high epidemiological risk for the contagion of the new coronavirus. .

Of these, 162 municipalities can adopt orange flag protocols, because they meet the criteria of Standard 0- 0, that is, they have no record of death or hospitalization of residents in the last 14 days, as long as the city creates a local regulation.
