The user must choose the option he or she needs between: a COVID-19 risk test; what the virus is and how it is transmitted; what to do if a family member has symptoms, and the latest case report and up-to-date information.
Susana Distance recommends writing the answer once and be patient in case your answer takes a few minutes.
The service is free, will have national coverage and the information you provide will be updated on a constant basis.
As of Tuesday, federal health authorities reported 857 COVID-19 deaths, in addition to 9,501 positive cases. }
