He recalled that the epidemiological traffic light is unappealable by the federal authority and covers 10 indicators, among which are the effective reproduction rate, the incidence of estimated cases, hospitalized cases, percentage of occupied hospital beds, mortality rate, and positivity, among others.

The secretary of health specified that the information that the federal government takes to modify the traffic light is from 15 days ago, which does not mark the reality that the state is currently experiencing.

The yellow traffic light restrictions to start on June 7 will be reduced capacity, all activities (essential and non-essential) can be carried out, but taking extreme care and considering the healthy distance.
