Regarding yellow fever in humans, the period has no confirmed cases. There were 15 notifications; 11 already discarded and 4 are still under investigation.

“Paraná is considered an area of viral circulation and that is why we monitor the presence of this virus daily, always remembering that the monkey does not transmit yellow fever. In the same way as humans, these animals also get sick and die when they are bitten by the mosquito ( Sabethes and Haemagogus ) contaminated with the virus ”, said the Secretary of Health, Beto Preto.
