Half a year after the announcement of the first cases of covid-19 in Portugal and at a time when the number of infections by the new coronavirus is increasing again, the president of the National Association of Public Health Doctors, Ricardo Mexia, assures that the reinforcement in this area is “very incipient” and that the specialists work “in a regime of quasi slavery”. “Public health is a specialty in the field and many times there are no computers, no air conditioning, or vehicles and all this compromises our ability to act,” he laments. Despite the increase in new cases of contagion, the doctor who works at the National Institute of Health Mr. Ricardo Jorge admits that a new general confinement of the population is unlikely but considers that this option should not be removed “from the table” and also He advocates the use of a mask on the street in some places where there is greater movement of people and greater difficulty in maintaining distances.
