According to data from the Ministry of Health, as of March 2, 381,446 cases and 1,789 deaths from the disease had been detected. Between February 25 and March 2 alone, Brazil had 70,582 cases (an increase of 1.9% compared to the previous week) and 253 deaths (19.9% more than the previous week). According to the minister, the creation of the memorial represents “a moment of reflection, but also of action linked to the reflective effort to build a memory of an event that denotes much more than abandonment, but the denial of science and life by the previous government”, he stated. The announcement of the memorial took place during a seminar at the Itamaraty Palace. The event takes place this Monday (11) and Tuesday (12) and will promote a debate between experts, authorities and professionals from different areas who worked in combating the disease. According to the Ministry of Health, the objective of the event is to contribute to the creation of a plan that will choose the monument for the pandemic memorial and allow artists, architects and other professionals to engage in the proposal.

The minister also added that a strong and resilient health system is necessary to face “possible future pandemics that the whole world is discussing”.
