BRASÍLIA (Reuters) – Health Minister Nelson Teich said today that the strategy to end the isolation to be presented next week will be based on daily monitoring of covid-19, and does not mean that there will be immediate relaxation.
According to the oncologist, standards will be adopted that take into account the specific situation of each location to determine the measures to loosen the social distance to be taken.
“When I say that we will have to map daily and there will be criteria, that does not mean that we will leave tomorrow, or that someone defends isolation or not. We defend what is best for society.” Teich said at a press conference at the Planalto Palace.
“If the best thing for society is isolation, and isolation is what it will be. If I can make it more flexible, give people autonomy, a better life, and if that is not going to influence the disease, it is what I’m going to do, “he added.
The minister announced yesterday that he will present a model next week for states to evaluate the possibility of abandoning isolation, even in the face of alerts from the ministry itself that the country is heading towards the traditional peak of hospitalizations for respiratory diseases.
According to Teich, the model already has a ready matrix and must include all possible variables. He mentioned that government officials will also be instructed to withdraw from the relaxation measures in certain situations.
“There is no choice of isolation or not, it is isolation at the right time and release at the right time. We have to define this on a daily basis. This ability to judge and make decisions is what will make us succeed.” help society, “he said.
The government’s decision to set the parameters for relaxation of isolation, one of the reasons for the fall of former Minister Luiz Henrique Mandetta, came despite the fact that several states had their health systems on the verge of collapse.
