Fiocruz child-case warning Rio and Sergipe see rises

Date unknown

The anchors and Anna Karina de Carvalho report Fiocruz's latest InfoGripe warning of increasing severe acute respiratory syndrome among children, especially those aged four or younger, in Rio de Janeiro and Sergipe. They describe alert, risk or high-risk activity, with six-week increases in Porto Alegre, Rio Branco and Rio de Janeiro and national growth over three weeks. Carvalho attributes more than 40% of year-to-date recorded cases to respiratory syncytial virus, followed by rhinovirus and influenza A/B, and about 4% to SARS-CoV-2. These are the broadcast's figures and denominators, rather than independently normalized statistics. Her vaccination-prevention reminder and full conclusion are preserved. No individual diagnosis or newly announced vaccine is reported.
