São Paulo enters a state of emergency against dengue
São Paulo declared a state of emergency with the increase in dengue cases. The measure seeks to expand the government's financial efforts to combat dengue.
“We worked with data from the monitoring panel: 311 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. We are in an epidemic, according to what the World Health Organization (WHO) determines from confirmed cases”revealed Regiane de Paula, Disease Control coordinator for the State of São Paulo to G1.
Limited resources
For Priscilla Perdicaris, Secretary of Health, the decision makes the acquisition of inputs, hiring of agents against dengue fever and the network of operations more agile. “And municipalities can use our decree as justification to declare a state of emergency in their municipalities too”, he told G1.
According to the Emergency Operations Center (COE), the decree calculates the use of federal government resources for both the state and municipalities. “It's a limited resource, we don't even have an estimate of the global value yet. But any resource helps”said the Secretary of Health. Planning to combat dengue involves purchasing more smoking devices and mapping hospitals to expand service to the population.
São Paulo in emergency
Of the 645 municipalities in São Paulo, 22 have already followed the state decree: Bariri, Bertioga, Boracéia, Botucatu, Getulina, Guararema, Guaratinguetá, Jacareí, Jandira, Mairiporã, Marília, Mauá, Pederneiras, Pindamonhangaba, Registro, Santa Branca, São Manuel , Sorocaba, Suzano, Taubaté, Votorantim and Votuporanga. Eight states in addition to São Paulo have also joined the state of emergency, namely: Acre, Distrito Federal, Goiás, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina and Amapá.
Vaccination
At the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Health announced the vaccination of young people between ten and 14 years of age in 500 Brazilian municipalities, 11 of which are in São Paulo. Vaccination of the above age group has been taking place in the city of drizzle since February 19th.
