Following what happened to Health Minister Henrique Mandetta. Nelson Teich, the Minister of Health of Brazil, who took over after Mandetta left, resigns in the middle of the pandemic due to the behavior of Jair Bolsonaro, who does not follow science and public policies defended by the medical and health organizations like WHO and Fiocruz and his ministers, Mandetta and Teich.
Teich was only a month in office. A few days ago, he was surprised by measures taken by Jair Bolsonaro, such as reopening barbershops, hair salons, and fitness centers. He learned of this measure during a press conference by journalists.
Before quitting, Teich sought out hospitals and universities to update himself on the use of chloroquine. He heard from doctors and researchers that it is not recommended to use this medicine in the initial phase of COVID-19, as Bolsonaro insists. He preferred to stay with science than with the government.
