As for the explosion of cases in hospital health personnel, according to him, what needs to be done now is how they are treated.
“We are going to take care of the Tecnopark or the health workers because they already have knowledge above the community, they can be isolated in their respective homes. We will still see the capacity at Technopark and the hospital if it can be accommodated for independent isolation, “he said.
