Announced unrest does not take place – and the 35,000 uniformed police officers assigned to duty in New York City therefore did not have to deal with any wild clashes between supporters and opponents of Donald Trump.

Viracopos International Airport, in Campinas (SP), now allows an international cargo transshipment flow (transshipment), making it possible to process cargo in international transit that will use the airport as a consolidation point in South America. This new service is the result of a joint effort with the Federal Revenue Service and is now available for operation.
The new service makes it possible to carry out all international cargo transfers following a deconsolidation and subsequent consolidation process, with the possibility of switching to any airline.
The transshipment procedure, regulated by Federal Revenue Ordinance ALF/VCP No. 76, of 03/17/2023, is allowed for cargo coming from abroad, supported by bills of lading of the HAWB (House Air Waybill) type, passing through Viracopos and subsequent boarding on international flights.
The flow of international cargo transshipment enhances the creation of alternative routes for airlines, freight forwarders and consignees to move cargo faster and more efficiently, being extremely important to strengthen foreign trade in Brazil and for Viracopos to continue to play a of national leadership.
Transshipment or international transhipment, in practice, is an immediate flight connection for international air cargo. Cargo storage will be done in a segregated area authorized for such by the Federal Revenue Service. Cargo agents interested in the operation must request authorization from the Federal Revenue Service.
The new flow is only available to companies that work as freight forwarders in Brazil and are regularly qualified, and only following approval by the Federal Revenue of the request for authorization to adopt the International Transfer procedure.
The use of the procedure set out in Ordinance ALF/VCP No. 76 is subject to the limitations of the area’s infrastructure, and Viracopos will keep freight forwarders updated on the storage capacity of the authorized area.
Today, the TECA (Cargo Terminal) of Viracopos processes 40% of all cargo imported into the country by air.

It worries hospitals around the world. Candida Auris was the subject of a recent alert by the American health authorities. Resistant to treatment and difficult to identify, it has multiplied in recent years in American healthcare establishments and can be fatal in the most vulnerable people.
He was nicknamed “the hospital killer”. The US Centers for Disease Surveillance and Prevention (CDC) has classified the Candida Auris as “an urgent threat” for public health, in a press release published on March 20.
C. Ear was discovered in the ear canal of a patient hospitalized in a Japanese hospital in 2009. Since then, it has been spreading at an alarming rate in hospital settings – with the United Kingdom, Spain, the United States and India leading the way, according to the High public health council (HCSP). Present on 5 continents, only 6 cases have been identified in France, according to the HCSP (2019).
Most often benign in healthy people, the germ is responsible for nosocomial fungal infections that can be fatal in the most fragile. “People who are very ill, equipped with a medical device or who make repeated or prolonged stays in health establishments present a high risk of being contaminated by C. Auris”notes the CDC in its press release.
Observed for the first time in 2016 in the United States, this fungus, a species of yeast, has since spread like wildfire. Between 2019 and 2021, the number of clinical cases increased from 476 to 1,471. As of December 31, 2021, 3,270 cases of contamination with infection were detected, 7,413 cases without infection. The CDC finds that the number of cases continued to increase significantly in 2022.
Why the C. Ear is it disturbing?
What particularly worries the health authorities is the great resistance of the C. Ear available antifungal treatments. It is also difficult to identify and can slip through the cracks if the laboratory does not have specific technology. Already at the origin of several epidemics in health establishments, it is nevertheless essential to be able to detect it quickly in carrier patients.
The symptoms caused by C. Ear depend on the area of contamination. They can be cutaneous, during superficial infections in particular. Some patients also have a flu-like state, accompanied by fever and chills. In immunocompromised individuals, symptoms of C. Ear can be much more serious during invasive infections (blood, urinary tract, bone, meninges, etc.).
The HCSP points to the severity of the fungus in vulnerable people: “Invasive infections are associated with a high fatality rate, essentially attributable to the numerous comorbidities observed in infected or colonized patients. »
How is C. Auris transmitted?
« The White ears is transmitted mainly by direct contact with the contaminated hands of a carrier or infected person, with those of nursing staff or by indirect contact with contaminated surfaces and objects.explains the Quebec government on its website.
Treatments are antifungal drugs, but some C. Ear are resistant to all available remedies. Thus screening appears essential in the fight once morest the fungus. Identifying carriers upstream, especially in the hospital, will help counter its spread and the infections it causes.
