With Covid-19 on the rise, secretary of the Ministry of Health recommends wearing a mask

The Health Surveillance Secretariat of the Ministry of Health again recommended, this Sunday (13), the use of masks due to the advance of Covid-19, mainly due to the circulation of the subline BQ.1.

In the epidemiological week between November 6 and 11, 57,825 cases and 314 deaths caused by the coronavirus were reported. The moving average for the last seven days was 8,448 daily diagnoses, representing a 120% increase over the previous week, with 3,834.

The moving average of deaths was 46, an increase of 28% compared to the last week, with 36.

The recommendation is mainly for people with risk factors for complications from Covid-19, especially immunosuppressed, elderly, pregnant women and people with multiple comorbidities.

As well as those who had contact with infected people and individuals who are in situations of greater risk of contamination, such as in closed and poorly ventilated places, places with agglomeration and health services.

Suspected or confirmed cases must remain in isolation.

A complete vaccination schedule is also recommended, with attention to booster doses, and hand washing with 70% alcohol and soap and water.
