Minister of Health fired
Luiz Henrique Mandetta was fired yesterday by president Bolsonaro. In the last weeks, their divergence was very clear. President Bolsonaro insists in vertical isolation and he is an enthusiast of the medication chloroquine. Mandetta, who is a doctor, defends the horizontal isolation and doesn't recommend so far the broad use of a medication that hasn't been largely tested and it is not a consensus in the scientific community.
The new nominated Brazilian Health Minister, Nelson Teich, is an oncologist and in his first speech he said no measure will be abruptly changed. It is expected that Mandetta helps in the transition.
