The decision was made by two Service Orders (OS) for servers, issued on Friday (13) and signed by the Minister of Health, Michele Luis Santos. In the text, the operating systems are justified as a way to reduce the spread of the virus among patients, caregivers and workers in city health units, while the ESPIN continues.
