At an interministerial meeting this Sunday afternoon (12/12), with the participation of the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa), the government decided to follow the determination of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) that made the vaccine passport mandatory for entry into the Brazil. The meeting was not scheduled.
Representatives from the Civil House, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Infrastructure, in addition to Anvisa, were at the Planalto Palace.
At the end of the meeting, a representative of the Civil House informed journalists that a new ordinance with rules for travelers entering the country should be published this week – probably this Monday (13/12). The government will comply with the determination of Minister Luís Roberto Barroso and will then demand proof of vaccination from anyone arriving in Brazil by air or land.
The executive secretary of the Ministry of Health, Rodrigo Cruz, told reporters that the decision this Saturday (11/12), in which Minister Barroso determined, in an injunction, the mandatory presentation of proof of vaccination for all travelers who enter Brazil, was the decisive event for the meeting to take place.
The government did not want to demand proof of vaccination, following the position defended by President Jair Bolsonaro (PL).
Barroso’s decision
In the decision published this Saturday (12/12), Barroso pointed out “omissions” of the federal government and responded to the request of Rede Sustentabilidade for the federal government to be obliged to adopt Anvisa’s recommendations. The agency recommends, since November, the need to require vaccination for entry into the country.
The magistrate asked that the monocratic decision be evaluated by colleagues in the Virtual Plenary as soon as possible.
