SÃO PAULO - Sao Paulo, the largest city in South America and home to Brazil's financial hub, will allow shops and malls to resume activities as it begins to reopen businesses after about two months of loosely enforced quarantine orders, despite a record number of new Covid-19 cases reported Thursday in Brazil.
The state government divided the region into roughly 20 so-called health areas and assigned grades to each ranging from one and five - level one signifying the need for the tighest restrictions, and level five the least. The criteria used included occupation of ICU beds in percentage terms and per 100,000 inhabitants, number of cases, hospitalisations and deaths by Covid-19. Cities can progress through the stages if the indicators hold for two weeks.
Covas warned that the reopening will only come after protocols on cleaning and testing have been established by the local health sanitation agency. City Hall will begin receiving the details, which should also include rules for inspection and communication of the measures, from sector associations and entities on Monday, he said.
