Covid-19 in children
The number of children aged zero to nine with Covid-19 in Rio de Janeiro this month is already greater than the sum of cases in the last two years. In the midst of the childhood vaccination campaign, children must wait 30 days after a negative test to be immunized.
Classroom lessons
A survey carried out by CNN shows that the return to school will be in person in 17 capitals and the Federal District. In some cases, there are exceptions for students with comorbidities, who will be able to adopt the hybrid scheme.
omicron
Brazilian public transport is the main villain in the dissemination of the Ômicron variant, according to a study carried out by the Brazilian Society for Contamination Control (SBCC). One of the reasons is that the rate of air renewal inside buses, trains and subways is insufficient to eliminate droplets contaminated by the virus.
