Vasco Estrela admitted that it is an unpredictable situation. “When things seemed to be relatively well and under control, this is an outbreak that is worrisome but that, I hope, can be contained in the exact place where it arose,” he says.

“Caution, chicken broths and common sense, we must all have and we must all do our best to help the institution get through this difficult time. We hope it stays here, but we all have to be aware, given the size and number of cases already detected, it is normal for something else to happen, which will put our municipality in a very complicated situation ”, he argued.
Vasco Estrela also left a “word of encouragement to the institution” that has done “an extraordinary job, like other institutions in the municipality, to control this pandemic within its physical borders” in recent months. “I hope things go well.
