The fight against the disease continues”, evaluated Queiroga in this Saturday (5), by Twitter.
Also according to the Minister of Health, the ministry monitors the pressure on the health system and the occupation of intensive care unit (ICU) beds. “There is room for opening new beds and we are supporting the States whenever necessary. Primary care has also been reinforced,” he pointed out.
