It is the third field hospital in the country’s largest city, with 268 beds for low and medium complexities, but 28 of them are for stabilization, almost an ICU to care for those who suddenly worsen.
“This infection is quite treacherous, that is why we are concerned about the implementation of this hospital, to offer in the same place where low complexity patients are hospitalized, an important number of stabilization beds, which can support the life of the patient, in case of that of clinical need ”, highlights Eduardo Ribeiro, executive secretary of Saúde-SP.
The health professionals who arrived, this Friday (1) at the Ibirapuera sports complex, transformed into a battlefront, know what they will face, but in the streets there are still many people playing with luck. Take a risk. A scenario that the authorities want to change from Monday.
São Paulo will experience the blocking of the main avenues in each region of the city, at peak times. Buses will operate normally, but cars will have only one lane. Narrowing the roads was the way the city discovered that social isolation has to be real.
The first day will be an adaptation and on Tuesday (5) no private car will pass.
“These blockades come in the sense of dissuading people from leaving the house and showing them how effective it is to maintain quarantine at a critical moment as we are experiencing today,” says Edson Caram, municipal secretary of Mobility and Transportation.
In addition to obstacles, the use of masks is now mandatory for public transport. The buses, which still carry around 3 million people a day in the capital, will receive warning stickers. With transit without a mask, the bus will not be able to run.
Disobedience will result in a fine of R $ 3,300 for the company and taxis and enforcement vehicles. The lack of the mask will cost R $ 150 in fines for the driver.
The relationship between the reduction of social isolation and the increase in the number of sick and dead has already been demonstrated in several countries of the world and has been confirmed in SP. Without reaching the goal of 70% of the population at home, São Paulo is seeing the number of patients skyrocket in the capital and throughout the state. This Friday, it reached 30,374 confirmed cases and more than 2,511 deaths. There were nearly six confirmed deaths per hour, as of Thursday (30), in the state.
“Unfortunately, social isolation has decreased in the past few days and this makes the virus circulate more quickly and the peak lengthens in the coming days.” Today the best shot is to stay home. It is to prevent the virus from circulating, “says Rodrigo García, deputy governor of São Paulo.
Bed occupancy rate is also a concern. The one in Osasco, in Greater São Paulo, is an example of the terrifying transmission speed of the new coronavirus.
“We started on Thursday with 62% occupancy and ended the day with 83%. In other words, each precaution, each precaution is fundamental ”, says Rogério Lins, mayor of Osasco.
