As of the latest update on February 20th, the Covid-19 Panel reveals that 78 individuals are currently hospitalized, with 25 in intensive care units (ICUs) and 31 in standard hospital wards. The adult ICU occupancy rate stands at 100%, emphasizing the strain on healthcare facilities. Presently, 3,658 cases are under monitoring.

The rapid surge in cases has prompted both municipal and state health departments to reinforce the importance of wearing masks in enclosed spaces, particularly within healthcare settings. Vaccination remains crucial to safeguarding lives and curbing the potential surge in cases, which could further burden healthcare facilities already grappling with dengue outbreaks in the state of Mato Grosso.
