“We had some studies published this week that pointed to a slow growth of cases in Espírito Santo. And the studies indicate that this has to do with isolation measures, important to contain the rapid spread of the disease. With the increase in the circulation of people in the last few days, there is no doubt that in two or three weeks this will affect the curve, “said the secretary.

Since the end of March, the number of capixabas that have taken to the streets has increased considerably, even with the prohibition of the operation of commerce and other establishments. From March 22 to April 8, the latest figure recorded, the rate of social isolation in Espírito Santo fell from 73% to 47.9%, well below the recommended rate, which is close to 70%. Across Brazil, this average is 49%.

According to Sesa, 56 patients are hospitalized. Of these, 39 occupy rooms in intensive care units. To date, 41 patients have been cured of Covid-19.
