The minister also explained that once the fourth wave was identified in the state, the government implemented containment measures.

“We are adopting several measures aimed at reducing the impact of the spread of the virus, breaking the chain of transmission, and allowing the state and the health system not to enter a critical situation that could prevent the population from accessing health services,” he said.
