The Covid-19 Panorama, released this Friday (24) by the State Department of Health of Rio de Janeiro, shows a scenario of deceleration of early indicators of the disease. Although the data still show growth, it is already possible to observe a downward trend. The analysis considers data recorded in the week of June 13-18.
The Secretary of State for Health, Alexandre Chieppe, warns that “approximately 1.5 million people have not yet returned to the posts to complete the primary vaccination schedule (2nd dose) and about 2 million have not yet received any immunization.
“The vaccine is the best way we have to prevent severe forms and deaths from covid-19. We appeal to the population to seek the health posts to be vaccinated,” she said.
According to the State Department of Health, attendance to cases of flu syndrome in the Emergency Care Units of the state network (UPAs) increased by 6% compared to the previous week.
