Health rules for entering Brazil will be postponed by a week
The government will postpone for a week the entry into force of health rules to enter the country, after the cyber attack on websites, applications and systems of the Ministry of Health , this morning. The information is from the executive secretary of the Ministry of Health (MS), Rodrigo Cruz, who spoke with the press at the Ministry of Health's ordinance today (10).
The Ministry of Health website and the ConnectSUS page and app, which provides the Covid-19 National Vaccination Certificate, were hacked . The ministry's page is now working again, but it is still not possible to access data on the covid-19 vaccine, provided by ConnectSUS.
Also affected was the e-SUS Notifica, which receives notifications from states and municipalities about the suspected and confirmed flu syndrome of covid-19. This system is still down. Another affected system was the National Immunization Program (SI-PNI).
health rules
The new health rules would take effect this Saturday (11). To enter Brazil, travelers will have to present proof of full vaccination against covid-19, and the application of the last dose or single dose must have taken place at least 14 days before departure. A negative RT-PCR test performed within 72 hours prior or negative antigen testing performed 24 hours prior will also be required.
The immunizing agents used must be approved by the World Health Organization (WHO), by the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) or by the health authorities of the country where the traveler received the dose.
Unvaccinated passengers, in addition to presenting test results, must undergo a five-day quarantine in the city listed as the final destination on the Traveler's Health Declaration. At the end of the quarantine, a new RT-PCR or antigen test will be required. If the result is positive, the passenger remains in quarantine. If it is negative, it will be able to circulate normally around the country.
airports
Starting next Monday (13), the airports of Brasília, Guarulhos, in São Paulo, and Galeão, in Rio de Janeiro , will have vaccination posts against covid-19. The terminals account for the largest volume of international passengers in the country. The idea, according to the Ministry of Health, is that the points are in operation especially during peak hours.
