The governor of São Paulo, João Doria (PSDB), said this Tuesday (11) that the state should have new restrictions on events of large agglomerations in view of the advance of the omicron variant of the coronavirus and the influenza epidemic.
“We will obviously have restrictions that have already been presented for agglomeration events”, he said. “Large agglomerations are not recommended, and the scientific committee of the state of São Paulo has already expressed this deliberation.”
The scientific committee meets this Tuesday afternoon and should pass on the new guidelines to the toucan, which will be announced at a press conference this Wednesday (12). The restrictions are expected to impact concerts, parties and football games.
The ABC Intermunicipal Consortium will ask the state scientific committee to limit the audience allowed in the games of the São Paulo de Juniors Cup, currently in the classification phase, and the Paulista Championship, which is scheduled to start on the 23rd.
Doria stated, however, that the new measures will not affect trade, services, industry and agribusiness, as reported in the Panel SA column “I want to reassure trade and the service sector that there is no indication so far that restrictions could be implemented.”
Since last year, at least 58 cities in the interior of São Paulo, the coast and Greater São Paulo have canceled street Carnival. The City of São Paulo took the same decision last Thursday (6).
There was pressure for cancellation by the state government. The doctor João Gabbardo, coordinator of the scientific committee that advises Doria, said that “it is unthinkable to keep the street Carnival without vaccination control”.
Committee doctors have followed with concern the increase in the number of hospitalizations for respiratory problems in the state.
As a measure against the advance of the coronavirus, the São Paulo government extended the mandatory use of masks in open places in the state until the 31st of this month.
