Another turbulent week, earlier we publish here about the dismissal of Wanderson Oliveira, in response, Mandetta says that he does not accept the secretary’s resignation, as he is a fundamental part of devising a strategy to combat the coronavirus in Brazil.
But what to expect from the country at this moment? Hard question.
In the last 24 hours, Brazil recorded 204 new deaths due to the new coronavirus, according to data from the Ministry of Health released this Wednesday, 15. In all, there are now 1,736 deaths across the country. The lethality rate is 6.1%. Therefore, making it high every day.
What was already expected by the folder, the number of confirmed infected patients jumped 3 thousand in one day and reached 28,320. This surge is the sum of a greater number of tests being carried out and an indication that the contagion in the country is at an accelerated pace.
São Paulo has already become the epicenter of the disease
São Paulo continues to be the most affected, with 778 deaths and 11,043 confirmed cases of the disease. Rio de Janeiro (3,743 cases and 265 deaths), Ceará (2,157 cases and 116 deaths), Amazonas (1,554 cases and 106 deaths) and Pernambuco (1,584 cases and 143 deaths) Dória, the current governor of the state, is taking tough measures to combat that.
