Porto Santo has 12 more positive cases, now totaling 15 active infections. The information was transmitted to DIÁRIO by the local health delegate, Rogério Correia, who said that a total of 71 people are still under active surveillance. The transmission network of these 15 cases is already isolated and many are being tested, so some more infections may appear.
Concerned about the Christmas and New Year festivities, the director of the Porto Santo Health Center assumes that 2021 “did not start in the best way”, this is because the people of Porto were “used to not having cases of covid -19 “.
Despite having conveyed his concerns “about socializing, leaving home or going to Funchal,” one of Rogério Correia’s biggest fears ended up happening, he lamented. A Porto resident, who lives in Madeira, returned home with Covid-19, and another family arrived in the Madeira capital and also returned infected.
Now we have the reality of these little mistakes that I asked you not to make. Stay at home. That they stick to the parties of the family nucleus. We already have, from one day to the next, 15 active positive cases in Porto Santo. These cases are all isolated and the contacts are also isolated. There are nine associated cases in a single family, so there is little dispersion of covid cases in Porto Santo.

Following the sudden growth of positive cases in Porto Santo, Rogério Correia left an alert and a petition to the approximately 800 people who arrived in Madeira and who in recent days have returned to Porto Santo. “I ask all those who arrive for five days to remain isolated and have a minimum of contacts. On the fifth day ask the Health Center to do a test. Travel as little as possible to Funchal and when you do, you will have a test on the fifth day ”, he emphasized.
