Interim Health Minister Eduardo Pazuello and Justice Minister André Mendonça overturned a resolution this week that set guidelines related to quarantine and social isolation measures in Brazil, news website G1 reported. The original text had been signed by their predecessors, Luiz Henrique Mandetta and Sergio Moro, respectively.
The resolution regulated specific points of an anti-Covid-19 law adopted in February. Among the measures established was the authorization for the federal government to impose social isolation measures, as well as compulsory Covid-19 testing. Since the beginning of the pandemic, however, the Supreme Court had decided that it was up to states and municipalities to define and impose social isolation measures in accordance with “local realities.”
