The increase in recent Covid-19 cases, he said, is the result of the relaxation of social isolation in recent weeks. The capital registered on Friday (8) 1,002 deaths. – In a conversation with private network doctors yesterday, they told me that they think people have relaxed on the last vacation in the sun. We hope that with these measures, the trend will be for residents to behave and the level of contamination will decrease. This Saturday, Crivella inaugurated a tomograph at the Guilherme da Silveira Polyclinic, in Bangu. According to him, the team has the latest technology and can serve, on average, one hundred people per day:
– Doctors explained that it takes about two minutes from when the patient is well positioned.
On Sunday (10), the second device will be inaugurated at the Freitas Filho Lincoln Polyclinic, in Santa Cruz. In total, there will be 15 CT scanners distributed throughout the city in the coming weeks in neighborhoods such as Cidade de Deus, Rocinha, Madureira, Campo Grande, Pavuna, Maré and Recreio. The new equipment came from China, and each cost $ 900,000. Crivella also said that next to each installed CT scanner there will be a service center.
– If you have any spots on your lungs, you will be under observation. The consensus of the doctors is that the earlier the diagnosis, the easier it is to cure it. We have passed the stage where the patient arrives with low oxygen saturation and goes home. The best test to identify the percentage of pneumonia in the lung is CT, says the mayor.
