The Municipality of São Gabriel da Cachoeira, a city of 52 thousand inhabitants of the state of Amazonas, has decreed the mandatory use of masks in closed environments, such as public offices, shops, schools, churches and public transport due to the increase in Covid-19 cases. This was announced by Agência Brasil. According to data from the Civic Defender Office of the Amazonas, in April in the city 852 km from Manaus, there were 400 positive cases of Covid-19 out of 897 suspicions. In December last year, they had just been 14. The obligation of the mask aims to protect the local population, in particular the indigenous communities that represent about 90% of the inhabitants of São Gabriel from Cachoeira. “The high test demand also reveals, in the negative cases of Covid-19, that other respiratory virosis are circulating in the city, putting the health of the population at risk”, communicated the office of the civic defender of the state of Amazonas, Marcelo Barbosa, recommending the administration of São Gabriel from Cachoeira the introduction of the mask.
