Researchers from the Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp) show that cases of covid-19 in the interior are three weeks behind the numbers registered in the capital and in metropolitan regions, such as Campinas, Sorocaba and Baixada Santista, which indicates that this region would not have reached the peak of cases.
The team of scientists participates in the Coronavirus Contingency Center, created by the management of João Doria (PSDB). The researchers’ conclusion is that this is due to the isolation made in the capital and serves as an indication that it is not yet time to relax the quarantine.
Larger cities, such as Bauru, Araraquara and Ribeirão Preto, have a responsibility to protect smaller municipalities, according to the researchers. In these areas, there is greater difficulty in accessing hospitals and equipment. With the overload of public and private services in São Paulo and the metropolitan region, Doria’s management is already considering taking hospitalized patients to inland hospitals. The Secretary of State for Health, José Henrique Germann, also said that the government intends to establish another association with private hospitals to avoid collapse.
To maintain the effects of the quarantine, the government recommends avoiding travel during the long weekend of Tiradentes’ holidays. The 20 dealerships that operate the 9,800 km of roads awarded will reinforce the messages to drivers.
