                          "The Government can calibrate the measures. The Government can evaluate the specific measures (...) and can take into account the particular situation of each island. It is not mandatory, under the state of emergency decree, that the restrictions be exactly the same for Boa Vista (51 cases) or Brava (without any case) ", he explained.

                          The President of Cape Verde announced today that he will ask parliament for an extension of the state of emergency in the entire archipelago, declared since March 29 and ending at 24:00 on Friday, to take effect in this second period until 24:00 on May 2 in the islands with confirmed cases of covid-19 (Boa Vista, Santiago and S?o Vicente) and until 24:00 on April 26 in the others, without cases of the disease.

                          In addition to the shorter period of this new period of state of emergency for the remaining islands, the head of state explained that in the presidential decree that he will send to the National Assembly, for discussion and voting, he defines the "goals" for the Government to regulate the measures : "It is not mandatory that the restrictions are the same", he insisted.

                          Today, Cape Verde has 19 days, out of 20 scheduled (in the first period), with a state of emergency to contain the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus, with the population obliged to the general duty of collection, with limitations on movements, closed non-essential companies and all interlinked and outward connections suspended.

                          To decide on the extension of the state of emergency, the President of the Republic met in recent days with the Government, political parties, authorities and health specialists.

                          "In my thinking, in my initial approach when I exposed my claim to the Government, there was the possibility that the extension would be restricted to the islands of Boa Vista, S?o Vicente and Santiago", he explained.

                          However, he admitted that he was "convinced" by arguments, "from the point of view of epidemiology and health" of the technical committee of the crisis office, that "it was even safer, even with a shorter period, to keep the other islands" in the same emergency state.

                          Even so, and despite the fact that the remaining seven islands (six inhabited) only have a second nine-day state of emergency, the President of the Republic prefers to wait, before announcing the lifting, albeit gradually, of the restrictions.

                          Cape Verde has so far had 55 confirmed cases of covid-19 in the archipelago, one of which led to the patient's death and the other has already been considered recovered. Of this total, three were registered on the island of Santiago and one on the island of S?o Vicente.

                          The remaining 51 were registered in Boa Vista, and in addition to the 50 in the hotel, another case was confirmed in March, of a tourist from the Netherlands.

                          Globally, the covid-19 pandemic has already claimed more than 133,000 deaths and infected more than two million people in 193 countries and territories. More than 436,000 patients were considered cured.

                            “The other restrictions will not be lifted immediately [after the end of the respective periods of state of emergency of the two island groups]. Thus, the restrictions related to the ban on the holding of public events that cause people to gather together, such as the operation of nightlife establishments, the frequency of gyms and the like, and the operation of catering establishments, ”he warned.

                            They will also remain in force after April 26 and May 2, according to the island group, restrictions on visits to nursing homes and centers, hospitals and other health facilities, as well as prison facilities. Similarly, they will maintain a limited functioning, in the Government's forecast at this stage, markets and maritime and air transport between islands.

                            “These restrictions will be lifted progressively, according to the epidemiological situation of each island. I am talking about the post-state of emergency phase ”, he explained.

                            The country currently records 56 cases of covid-19, spread over the islands of Boa Vista (51), Santiago (04) and S?o Vicente (01). One of the cases in Praia (Santiago) was already considered to have recovered from the disease and the country's first case, on the island of Boa Vista, ended in the death of the 62-year-old English tourist.

                            Today, Cape Verde has 20 days of state of emergency to contain the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus, with the population obliged to the general duty of recollection, with restrictions on movements, non-essential companies and closed schools, as well as all inter-island and international connections. outdoor suspended.
