China News Service, July 7th, according to the South American Overseas Chinese News Network, according to Brazil's "Sao Paulo State News" statistics, after gradually opening up the economy, the number of new coronary pneumonia cases in Brazil's 12 capital cities has increased, and some cities have decided to retake more Restrictive measures.
On July 6, local time, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, a restaurant reopened. On the same day, Brazil’s largest city, Sao Paulo, allowed bars, restaurants and beauty salons that were in compliance with sanitary and epidemic prevention conditions to resume business. China News Agency reporter Mo Chengxiong
According to reports, the survey analyzed 18 of the 27 capital cities in Brazil. The remaining cities have no economic recovery plan or restart the economy is still less than two weeks, which is considered by experts as the shortest time to assess the impact of restarting economic measures . The São Paulo State News collected from the collaboration platform the number of daily cases registered in these capital cities since the outbreak in March and compared it with the data after the economic restart.
The growth of cases in each city is not consistent. In Sao Paulo, for example, the government announced that it would restart the economy in early June, and now the number of new cases per day has increased by 15%. In Brasilia, the business was reopened in late May, when there were 300 new cases every day, and a month later it increased to 1500 cases, five times the previous rate.
Pedro Curry Haral, president of the Federal University of Pelotas, Brazil, and epidemiologist, said that this growth is “natural” and that “relaxation should be a measure taken when the curve drops,” If it is relaxed when it rises, the problem will inevitably increase."
The city of Belo Horizonte reopened shopping malls, retail stores and beauty salons in May, and the average daily new cases rose from 30 before the opening to 150 today. Under the increasing pressure of the epidemic, Mayor Belo Horizonte decided to abandon the measures to open up the economy and return to the situation where only necessary services were provided.
The same situation occurred in Porto Alegre. The average number of new cases a day ago was only single digits, but now it exceeds 100 cases. The city government announced that it had suspended the previous opening of churches, beauty shops, gyms, and parks, and also called for an increase in social isolation.
However, in some capital cities in the northern and northeastern regions, the epidemic peak was experienced in May, and strict isolation measures were taken at that time, and economic activities were resumed only after the spread of the epidemic was controlled. In these places, the number of new cases did not increase one month after the restart of the economy, but on the contrary it is still decreasing.
This is the case of Manaus, Saint Louis, Recife and Fortaleza. In addition to Manaus, other cities have issued "closure orders". Compared with the day when the economy was restarted, the number of new cases in these cities has fallen by more than 50%.
