The collegiate board of the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) unanimously approved on Wednesday (8) a proposal that deals with sanitary measures for the operation and for the loading and unloading of platforms and cargo vessels in Brazilian ports .
Through a statement, Anvisa informed that the objective is to reinforce actions to fight covid-19 in the country, especially in view of the circulation of the Ômicron variant, with special attention to the embarkation and disembarkation of crew members in Brazilian ports.
According to the approved text, before granting access to ships and platforms, justice officials must require crew, suppliers and professionals of the port network to comply with fitness requirements, adding the presentation of evidence of full vaccination against covid-19.
For the journalist on the subject, director Alex Machado Campos, the firm considers vaccination as “the guiding precept of sanitary measures for the operation and for the embarkation and disembarkation of platforms in Brazilian jurisdictional waters and of embarkation vessels. “
Proof of a laboratory control such as RT-PCR or RT-LAMP (molecular controls used for diagnosis) with a negative result, carried out 72 hours before shipment, must also be required. Non-reactive effects would possibly be accepted through an immediate antigen check (IgG and IgM) performed 24 hours prior to travel.
In addition, the standard provides for pre-shipment screening to identify symptoms of the disease.
The proposal also addresses preventive measures against COVID-19 that have already been widely publicized, such as hand hygiene, social distancing and the use of masks. Similar cleaning, disinfection and waste control protocols are also in place on board ships.
The text provides for the status quo of contingency plans and the notification of suspected and detected cases of the disease to Anvisa. According to the rule, after the identification of a case on ships, all people on board will be contacts of the detected case and will be monitored.
The annex to Anvisa’s proposal proposes to involve the change of equipment, the execution of quarantine or quarantine of vessels to manage ships with one or more cases of covid-19.
The elements will be selected through the user legally responsible for the vessel, who must take into account the location of the port, the route, the availability of a team of choice and the mandatory operational and logistical capacity. The selected option must be pre-approved through the unit of the company responsible for the port.
