MADRID, 6 One. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Brazilian Ministry of Health has confirmed this Tuesday 56,648 new infections and 1,171 deaths from coronavirus, while state governors have criticized this Tuesday that the Government continues without setting a vaccination schedule after the last meeting held.
With the figures recorded in the last 24 hours, Brazil already has a total of 7,810,400 accumulated cases and 197,732 deaths, while the number of recovered amounts to 6,963,407.
On the other hand, this Tuesday a videoconference took place between several state governors and the secretary of sanitary surveillance of the Ministry of Health, Arnaldo Medeiros, to address new measures against the pandemic, including the next vaccination schedule.
However, during the meeting, a definitive date has not been reached, lamented the governor of Piauí – in northeast Brazil – Wellington Dias, who has come to describe the meeting as “stressful.”
“Our expectations were that there would be some definition. The meeting was even stressful,” said Dias, according to the Globo newspaper.
Along with Dias, the governors of Goiás participated, Ronaldo Caiado; from Pará, Helder Barbalho; from Amapá, Waldez Goes; y from Río Grande del Sur, Eduardo Leite.
“Brazil is reaching the end of the line. There is an inexplicable delay,” emphasized Dias, who has proposed for next January 11 a meeting with representatives of Congress, the Supreme Court and the Ministry of Health, to debate with manufacturers and the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) the vaccination schedule.
For his part, the mayor of Manaus, David Almeida, has decreed a state of emergency for the next 180 days, after the city, one of the most affected by the pandemic, has once again suffered an increase in cases and a new record number of hospital occupations.
The capital of Amazonas has suffered a new spike in the disease since April and May when the state’s hospital network collapsed and images of crowded cemeteries and workers digging ditches relentlessly became famous.
So far, Amazonas, northwestern Brazil, has registered 204,900 accumulated cases and 5,414 deaths.
