São Paulo Municipal Secretary of Health Edson Aparecido said today that tougher restriction measures can be applied in the city if COVID-19 cases continue to increase. “Either everyone collaborates, or we are going to take more restrictive measures,” he said.
Edson Aparecido, in an interview with the television channel CNN Brasil, spoke about the responsibility of citizens in the spread of the disease in the city, citing clandestine clubs and crowded bars without respecting security protocols. “If we do not advance, if the population does not help, we will have great pressure on the public and private system of the municipality,” he explained.
State Health Secretary Jean Gorinchteyn also said today that the state may have more restrictive measures. According to Gorinchteyn, the regions of the state can go back to the red phase of the São Paulo Plan, if necessary. The Secretary of State also demanded the collaboration of the population.
For the municipal secretary, an aggravating factor is the fact that the São Paulo capital receives people from other cities in the state to receive assistance. He recalled the collapse of the health system in Manaus and argued that the new restrictions could be applied to avoid a similar scenario.
Vaccination in São Paulo
Edson Aparecido also said that the municipality can make 600 thousand vaccines a day, but that this depends on the availability of the vaccine. The secretary said that his expectation is that the Butantan Institute can receive supplies for the manufacture of more doses of CoronaVac and that the Ministry of Health obtain both supplies and vaccines produced in other laboratories.
The Butantan Institute, which produces CoronaVac in Brazil, and Fiocruz, which manufactures the vaccine that was developed in partnership with the University of Oxford and Astrazeneca, await the importation of raw material from China and India to produce more doses. vaccinations
