Marcelo Queiroga pledges to continue the controversial policies of President Jair Bolsonaro. FMTNews Brazil

Medical workers treat a Covid-19 patient at the intensive care unit of Oceanico Hospital in Niteroi in December.

“These are simple measures but they are important, because people can with these measures avoid having to shut down the country’s economy,” Queiroga said in a press conference together with outgoing Health Minister Eduardo Pazuello, an active duty army general. Queiroga added that the overall health policy is set by the president and the minister is there to implement it.

He also said that lockdowns are not the way to stop the pandemic, repeating Bolsonaro’s position in defiance of most public health experts and state governors in Brazil.
