Health professionals were blocked in the traffic blocks created by the city of São Paulo to try to improve the isolation rate in the capital, which fell again and reached 48% on Monday (4). The Public Ministry of the State of São Paulo opened a Civil Investigation to investigate the measure added by the municipal administration.
The blockade of avenues began on Monday (4), but this Tuesday (5) the Municipality of São Paulo increased the number of interdictions from four to eight on large avenues in the eastern, northern, western, and southern areas. The locking system was also extended and started operating between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.
The highest congestion recorded on Tuesday (5) in the capital of São Paulo was 3.5 km in Radial Leste. Billing analyst at a hospital in the capital of São Paulo, André Silva, was one of the professionals who got stuck in traffic and was late for work. “I would have to be at the hospital at 7 am, it is 9 am and I didn’t get halfway there. It’s sad, isn’t it? He said.
Laboratory nursing technician Franciene Teixeira said she spent more than three hours in congestion. Nurse Renata Nicomuceno said she did not imagine that the blockage would interfere so much with her schedule. “I knew there would be some blocks, but I thought by the time I left, it wouldn’t be a problem,” he reported.
On Moreira Guimarães Avenue, in the North-South corridor, health professionals who released documents were released. However, an ambulance was unable to pass and had to detour, four others passed, but only after being in the jam. The blockage caused 1 km of traffic jam. The peak of congestion in the city of São Paulo reached 19 km at 8 in the morning.
The municipal secretary of mobility and transport, Edson Caram, said that, for now, the blockades will continue. He promised that he will make adjustments and will evaluate if the measure is working.
“What we realized with yesterday’s block is that we had a reduction, despite the blocks, of 2 km in the city’s congestion index and today, despite having more block points and being total blocks , we had a reduction of 1 km compared to yesterday, “said Caram.
