Sao Paulo [Brazil], May 8 (ANI/Xinhua): The government of the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo on Friday extended for two more weeks its restriction phase, and night curfew established to confront the COVID-19 pandemic, although it eased restrictions on businesses and restaurants.
During a press conference, the governor of Sao Paulo, Joao Doria, explained that the decline in COVID-19 hospitalizations allows for the relaxation of restrictions, after the collapse of the hospital system in March and April in almost all of Brazil due to an 85 to 100 percent occupancy of intensive care unit (ICU) beds.

Brasilia, April 1 : Brazilian authorities have identified a new Covid-19 variant, similar to the one found in South Africa, which could be a mutation of the strain detected in Amazonas state.
This new variant was detected in a patient hospitalised in the city of Sorocaba, 97 km west of Sao Paulo, Xinhua news agency quoted Dimas Covas, director of the state laboratory Butantan Institute, as saying at a press conference on Wednesday.
"The variant found in Sorocaba resembles the one (first detected) in South Africa, although there is no link between the patient and someone who has travelled to South Africa," he said.
