Trying to avoid the complete collapse of the health-care system, doctors and nurses in the main hospital in Santo André, a municipality of 720,000 inhabitants in the metropolitan area of São Paulo, are working on an emergency scheme to transfer patients from the pediatric ward to basic care unit. The goal is to transform all hospital wards into intensive care wards to treat people infected with the COVID-19 virus.
