According to a note from the Epidemiological Surveillance Council (Dive-SC), released on Thursday, 26, Joinville is the city of Santa Catarina with the highest number of delta variant cases, with 12 records. At the back is São Francisco do Sul, with eight affirmations.

The mayor took the opportunity to highlight the importance of vaccination and stressed the need to alert the population of the exact date of the second dose, with the aim of completing the immunization cycle.

We have applied about 540 thousand doses of the vaccine and have more than 155,000 people from Joinville with full vaccination. The absences are still a point of interest, because about 7,000 Joinvilles did not turn up on schedule for the second dose,” warns the mayor.
