Even though the situation is worsening due to the spread of mutations, the number of deaths continues to occur due to the attendance of school classes.
As of a month after attending school classes in Sao Paulo, more than 4,000 teachers and students have been diagnosed with Corona 19 and 21 have died.
The deaths were confirmed by 19 teachers and 2 students, and more than 60% of the confirmed cases were teachers and students in public schools.
It is known that cases of confirmation and death have occurred in other regions since the start of school classes.
After having a conflict with President Bolsonaru over the corona 19 response method, two ministers who were former doctors have stepped down, and a former military general who has nothing to do with the health field is serving as a minister.
Since then, the Ministry of Health has been swept away by the President’s breath, unable to systematically respond to Corona 19, and has been lagging behind other countries in securing and vaccinating vaccines.

President Bolsonaru, who has been ignoring the seriousness of Corona 19 and has not shown willingness to vaccination, said that he will be aggressive in securing and vaccinating the vaccine late after the recent drop in approval rate.
