The Public Ministry of Santa Catarina (MPSC) appealed on Friday (1st) before the Court of Justice, requesting that the release of 100% occupancy of hotels and the holding of events in the State be suspended. The argument of the attorney general Gladys Afonso, coordinator of Civil Resources of the MP, is that the movement of people can impact the increase in Covid-19 cases and make it difficult to return to school.

Education was established as an essential activity in a law approved by the Legislative Assembly (Alesc) and sanctioned by Governor Carlos Moisés (PSL) in December.

“The reflections of this increased circulation of people in the interest of economic activities will be felt, according to projections, at the end of January and the beginning of February, the exact period in which the return of school activities is expected. It cannot be admitted that the children and adolescents of the State will be harmed again by the lack of control of the pandemic as a result of the release of non-essential activities ”, he writes.

The Public Ministry uses as a basis the risk map released by the State on December 29, which points to a high rate of transferability throughout the state and warns of a possible delay in the accounting of cases confirmed by the end of the recess. year. For the prosecutor, the information leads to the conclusion that there is a risk of pressure on the health system, with a greater demand for ICU beds.
“It is not an exaggeration to remember that the update of the map of potential risk, with the classification of four regions in serious risk, and the others in very serious, with an apparent downward trend, reflects the reality of at least 14 days ago, when there were the most restrictive measures that are intended to be reinstated here, “he says.
The prosecutor questions the State’s argument, accepted by the TJSC, that the release of a formal accommodation would reduce the demand for alternative media, such as AirBnb. The MPSC says that the measure violates the recommendation of Health technicians, which points to the need to reduce the movement of people to stop the advance of the pandemic.
Another point withdrawn from the appeal is the argument presented by the government that the liberation of activities is necessary to rescue the economy, saying that the State had a high tax collection, with historical figures, in the middle of a pandemic and in the course of restrictive measures.
Finally, the prosecutor alleges that the conduct of the State Government is contrary to the Federal Constitution, for ruling out mandatory health protection. “In any scenario that presents multiple possible options for the implementation of public policy, the adoption of the one that represents the least risk to public health is mandatory,” says, in the appeal, the Coordinator of Civil Resources.
The MPSC action, which led to the suspension of 100% of hotel occupancy in December, is challenged in an open letter by 20 class entities in Santa Catarina. The argument is that the judicialization brings instability and “irreparable damage” to the sector.
