Since this Monday, some format changes began to take place in the report that the national Ministry of Health provides daily, since the beginning of the pandemic, to inform the population about the situation of the coronavirus.
One of the novelties is that the morning report is no longer broadcast live every day, but the report headed by the Secretary of Access to Health, Carla Vizzotti, will be issued only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, at its schedule habitual.
In addition, there are no longer two written reports, but that Covid-19 Epidemiological Report (REDEC) is only one, which unifies the data every 24 hours.
