São Paulo may require a vaccine passport at airports
The state of São Paulo will be able to demand the vaccination passport against covid-19 as of December 16 at its airports (Cumbica, Viracopos and Congonhas). The measure would also apply to the Port of Santos.
According to Governor João Doria, if the federal government does not adopt the passport by December 15, the established deadline, the airports and the port will make the requirement, even in the case of spaces subordinated to the federal administration. A letter was sent by the state government to the Ministry of Health asking for the adoption of mandatory presentation of proof of vaccination.
The measure in the territory of São Paulo would reach most travelers arriving in Brazil, as the three airports account for two-thirds of the total international flights in the country.
Quarantine
Yesterday (7), the federal government announced that it will require a five-day quarantine for travelers not vaccinated against covid-19 who land in Brazil.
Commenting on the possibility of requiring a vaccination certificate for travelers who want to enter the country, recommended by the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa), the Minister of Health, Marcelo Queiroga, said that fighting the pandemic is not just about one document that causes more discord than consensus.
For the minister, countries that have identified the new variants cannot be punished with restrictions on their citizens.
