❄️❄️ Com a temperatura a descer, saiba como se proteger do frio:

ℹ mantenha o corpo hidratado e quente;
ℹ mantenha-se protegido do frio ➡ use luvas, cachecol, gorro/chapéu, calçado e roupa quente, utilizando várias camadas de roupa.

Cuide de si, cuide de todos! #DGS #inverno

Vacinação contra a Covid-19 e gripe com início a 7 de setembro com o objetivo principal de proteger as pessoas mais vulneráveis. A campanha de vacinação sazonal decorrerá simultaneamente para a Covid-19 e para o vírus da gripe, disse Graça Freitas em Conferência de Imprensa.

Conventional wisdom is that previous infection with omicron subvariant BA.1 or BA.2 does notprotect against BA.5, but data from Portugal show considerable protection against BA.5 infection from previous BA.1 or BA.2 infection. https://t.co/1qXPAENSyn

Matching supply and demand in hospitals at #EAHM2018 Portuguese hospitals should seize the political opportunity to be included in the #publichealth National Reform and overcome their PH professionals' need: PH doctors fit recently created PH hospital services! @j_vidalcastro

I'm really happy to have been part of #EpiLisboa18 Portuguese team! What a great experience! Globalisation, inequalities and changes in society demand different answers and solutions. Let's keep working! Next year: Oviedo! @NovaUnl @seepidemiologia https://t.co/SBw6Ozfynj

@andre_peralta Neste decreto-lei estava autoridade de saúde. Para a população é mais fácil delegado de saúde e tecnicamente correto pelo DL 135/2013: as autoridades de saúde nos serviços locais são "delegados de saúde" e o coordenador do serviço "delegado de saúde coordenador"
