Tendo em conta as orientações da Direção Geral de Saúde (DGS) e ao Plano de Contingência Municipal, a Câmara Municipal de Famalicão decidiu fechar ao público a reunião do executivo municipal agendada para esta quinta-feira, dia 19 de março, às 10h30.
Os assuntos em discussão podem ser consultados no portal do município, emwww.famalicao.pt/agenda-camara-municipal.
A Comissão Europeia disse hoje esperar que a potencial vacina para o novo coronavírus que está a ser criada por um laboratório alemão esteja no mercado até ao outono, podendo “salvar vidas dentro e fora da Europa”.
“Estamos [Comissão Europeia] a acelerar a investigação. Ontem [segunda-feira] falei com os gestores de uma empresa inovadora que está a trabalhar numa tecnologia promissora para desenvolver uma vacina contra o coronavírus”, indica a presidente do executivo comunitário, Ursula von der Leyen, através de um vídeo publicado na rede social Twitter.
Recordando que a União Europeia (UE) já disponibilizou até 80 milhões de euros à CureVac, uma empresa de Tübingen, na Alemanha, a responsável afirma esperar que, “com este apoio, seja possível haver uma vacina no mercado talvez até ao outono”.
“Isto pode salvar vidas na Europa e no resto do mundo”, vinca Ursula von der Leyen no vídeo.
Ainda assim, a líder do executivo comunitário admite que “muito falta fazer para combater este vírus” na UE.
E, por isso, realça que “todos podem contribuir”, aconselhando desde logo os cidadãos a ficarem casa “e a reduzirem o contacto social”.
Na segunda-feira, a Comissão Europeia anunciou um apoio de até 80 milhões de euros ao laboratório alemão que está a trabalhar numa potencial vacina para o novo coronavírus, após uma alegada oferta da administração norte-americana, desmentida pela biofarmacêutica.
A instituição liderada por Ursula von der Leyen explicou que esta verba seria atribuída sob a forma de uma garantia da UE a um empréstimo do Banco Europeu de Investimento (BEI) neste valor, no âmbito do mecanismo de financiamento de doenças infecciosas InnovFin e do programa comunitário para a investigação Horizonte 2020.
A informação foi divulgada depois de, também na segunda-feira, a CureVac ter negado haver recebido uma oferta do Governo dos EUA para reservar a sua descoberta para os norte-americanos.
No domingo, o jornal alemão Welt am Sonntag citava fontes não identificadas do Governo alemão que asseguravam que o dono da CureVac, uma empresa farmacêutica, tinha participado numa reunião com o Presidente Donald Trump, no início do mês, tendo recebido uma generosa oferta para garantir o seu trabalho em exclusivo para os Estados Unidos.
O jornal dizia ainda que a chanceler alemã, Angela Merkel, estaria a disputar com a empresa a necessidade de a vacina, quando estiver pronta, ser igualmente utilizada na Europa, que é neste momento o principal foco da pandemia.
“Para que fique claro sobre o coronavírus: a CureVac não recebeu uma oferta do Governo dos Estados Unidos ou de entidades com ele relacionadas, antes, durante ou desde a reunião com a ‘task-force’ da Casa Branca, no dia 02 de março”, escreveu hoje o diretor do laboratório alemão, na conta da empresa na rede social Twitter.
O diretor de operações da CureVac, Hans Werner Haas, disse ao jornal Tagesspiegel que a sua empresa tinha realmente participado numa reunião com o Presidente Donald Trump, mas desmentiu a versão de uma qualquer oferta para a compra dos direitos do novo produto.
O coronavírus responsável pela pandemia da Covid-19 infetou mais de 180 mil pessoas, das quais mais de 7.000 morreram.
Das pessoas infetadas em todo o mundo, mais de 75 mil recuperaram da doença.
O Arciprestado de Vila Nova de Famalicão, dadas as comunicações das autoridades públicas de saúde, as posições da Conferência Episcopal e da Arquidiocese de Braga, informa que a Páscoa será celebrada com o toque dos sinos durante o dia e é proposto às famílias que coloquem flores à porta e estandartes à janela mesmo sem compasso na rua. A celebração da Páscoa será, por isso, em família.
Informa, também, que as paróquias vão suspender a catequese e atividades juvenis/escutistas, que serão retomadas quando as escolas abrirem; estão suspensas as confissões, as eucaristias, procissões, vias-sacras e toda e qualquer manifestação que implique aglomerados de pessoas; os velórios e os funerais estão circunscritos à família e recomenda que os pêsames sejam dados por SMS e redes sociais; os casamentos e batizados, se os houver, também circunscritos à família.
O Arciprestado de Famalicão adianta que «o dom da vida tem um valor inviolável. Temos o dever de a proteger, a nossa e a dos outros». Em comunicado, diz que todos devem rezar a Deus para que «se compadeça de todos os frágeis e doentes, para que dê alívio e cure todos os infetados, anime os que deles cuidam, ajude os investigadores a encontrar os meios de cura».
A empresa de transportes ARRIVA decidiu, a partir do dia 17 de março, reduzir os horários dos autocarros. Passam a vigorar os horários dos sábados, o que implica uma redução substancial. A medida é aplicada a toda a rede de serviços da empresa.
Esta é uma medida no atual contexto de prevenção do Covid-19. A empresa decidiu seguir o seu plano de contingência interno e as indicações da Direção Geral da Saúde.
O principal objetivo destas medidas passa por reduzir o nível de exposição quer dos clientes quer dos colaboradores ao avanço da propagação do vírus.
A empresa refere ainda que, tendo em conta a redução da afluência por estes dias, estes horários servem perfeitamente as necessidades.
«Acreditamos que, com esta solução, poderemos contribuir para a diminuição do potencial de propagação da doença protegendo as pessoas e, ao mesmo tempo, corresponder ainda assim à parca procura existente, mantendo serviços que permitem as deslocações entre os pontos principais da rede», referem os responsáveis.
ÚLTIMA HORA
É da freguesia de Outiz o segundo famalicense infetado pelo Covid-19.
De acordo com uma familiar, os sintomas surgiram ao homem de 56 anos na quinta-feira passada, com febre e dores no corpo. Antes de sair de casa, o doente optou por ligar para o SNS24, onde aguardou cerca de 6h para ser atendido.
Na chamada telefónica com o assistente, foram feitas algumas questões de despiste ao coronavírus. O operador concluiu que o doente não apresentava sintomas compatíveis com o covid-19, encaminhando-o para a unidade de Vila Nova de Famalicão do Centro Hospitalar do Médio Ave.
O homem ficou a aguardar consulta na sala de espera do CHMA até perto 01h00 de sexta-feira, altura em que foi medicado na sequência de algumas análises. Por ação do próprio manteve-se em repouso até domingo, quando regressou ao hospital, já mais debilitado, transportado pelos bombeiros na sequência de mais uma chamada para o SNS24.
De regresso ao Hospital de Famalicão, o doente foi colocado numa zona isolada e submetido a mais uma bateria de testes até receber a notícia de que tinha dado positivo para Covid-19. O infetado foi levado para o Hospital de Braga, onde se mantém em isolamento.
O Plano de Contingência Municipal de Vila Nova de Famalicão determina a manutenção das refeições escolares aos estudantes do pré-escolar ao secundário, dos escalões A e B, no mesmo regime em que o fazia durante o período letivo e enquanto vigorar a suspensão das atividades letivas.
As refeições serão disponibilizadas em regime de take-away na escola afeta à área de residência, mediante prévia marcação, devendo o beneficiário ser portador de recipientes para o efeito.
A inscrição deve ser feita e solicitada pelos encarregados de educação via Agrupamento de Escolas, através do respetivo endereço eletrónico.

Essential cookies enable basic functions and are necessary for the proper function of the website.
These purposes are part of the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework.
Cookies, device or similar online identifiers (e.g. login-based identifiers, randomly assigned identifiers, network based identifiers) together with other information (e.g. browser type and information, language, screen size, supported technologies etc.) can be stored or read on your device to recognise it each time it connects to an app or to a website, for one or several of the purposes presented here.
Examples:
Most purposes explained in this notice rely on the storage or accessing of information from your device when you use an app or visit a website. For example, a vendor or publisher might need to store a cookie on your device during your first visit on a website, to be able to recognise your device during your next visits (by accessing this cookie each time).
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times an ad is presented to you).
Examples:
A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally conscious users living in the city after office hours. The advertising is presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change actions) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose non-precise location suggests that they are in an urban zone.
A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.
Information about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit, content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.
Examples:
If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested in luxury cycling gear.
An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner apps based on those profiles.
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on your advertising profiles, which can reflect your activity on this service or other websites or apps (like the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects.
Examples:
An online retailer wants to advertise a limited sale on running shoes. It wants to target advertising to users who previously looked at running shoes on its mobile app. Tracking technologies might be used to recognise that you have previously used the mobile app to consult running shoes, in order to present you with the corresponding advertisement on the app.
A profile created for personalised advertising in relation to a person having searched for bike accessories on a website can be used to present the relevant advertisement for bike accessories on a mobile app of another organisation.
Information about your activity on this service (for instance, forms you submit, non-advertising content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (such as your previous activity on this service or other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (which might for example include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present content that appears more relevant based on your possible interests, such as by adapting the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read several articles on how to build a treehouse on a social media platform. This information might be added to a profile to mark your interest in content related to outdoors as well as do-it-yourself guides (with the objective of allowing the personalisation of content, so that for example you are presented with more blog posts and articles on treehouses and wood cabins in the future).
You have viewed three videos on space exploration across different TV apps. An unrelated news platform with which you have had no contact builds a profile based on that viewing behaviour, marking space exploration as a topic of possible interest for other videos.
Content presented to you on this service can be based on your content personalisation profiles, which can reflect your activity on this or other services (for instance, the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects. This can for example be used to adapt the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find (non-advertising) content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read articles on vegetarian food on a social media platform and then use the cooking app of an unrelated company. The profile built about you on the social media platform will be used to present you vegetarian recipes on the welcome screen of the cooking app.
You have viewed three videos about rowing across different websites. An unrelated video sharing platform will recommend five other videos on rowing that may be of interest to you when you use your TV app, based on a profile built about you when you visited those different websites to watch online videos.
Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance, whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of advertising campaigns.
Examples:
You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.
You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an “international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad placements.
Information regarding which content is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine whether the (non-advertising) content e.g. reached its intended audience and matched your interests. For instance, whether you read an article, watch a video, listen to a podcast or look at a product description, how long you spent on this service and the web pages you visit etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of (non-advertising) content that is shown to you.
Examples:
You have read a blog post about hiking on a mobile app of a publisher and followed a link to a recommended and related post. Your interactions will be recorded as showing that the initial hiking post was useful to you and that it was successful in interesting you in the related post. This will be measured to know whether to produce more posts on hiking in the future and where to place them on the home screen of the mobile app.
You were presented a video on fashion trends, but you and several other users stopped watching after 30 seconds. This information is then used to evaluate the right length of future videos on fashion trends.
Reports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising) content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).
Examples:
The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.
An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and is likely in the 45-60 age range.
Information about your activity on this service, such as your interaction with ads or content, can be very helpful to improve products and services and to build new products and services based on user interactions, the type of audience, etc. This specific purpose does not include the development or improvement of user profiles and identifiers.
Examples:
A technology platform working with a social media provider notices a growth in mobile app users, and sees based on their profiles that many of them are connecting through mobile connections. It uses a new technology to deliver ads that are formatted for mobile devices and that are low-bandwidth, to improve their performance.
An advertiser is looking for a way to display ads on a new type of consumer device. It collects information regarding the way users interact with this new kind of device to determine whether it can build a new mechanism for displaying advertising on this type of device.
Content presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type, or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times a video or an article is presented to you).
Examples:
A travel magazine has published an article on its website about the new online courses proposed by a language school, to improve travelling experiences abroad. The school’s blog posts are inserted directly at the bottom of the page, and selected on the basis of your non-precise location (for instance, blog posts explaining the course curriculum for different languages than the language of the country you are situated in).
A sports news mobile app has started a new section of articles covering the most recent football games. Each article includes videos hosted by a separate streaming platform showcasing the highlights of each match. If you fast-forward a video, this information may be used to select a shorter video to play next.
