"he explained.
The state government has already confirmed the circulation of dengue virus 2 in 19 cities of São Paulo, including Araraquara, Andradina, Barretos, Bauru, Bebedouro, Catanduva, Espírito Santo do Pinhal, Indiaporã, Ipiguá , Ipiguá, Itajobi, Mirbadol and Pereira Barreto, Piracicaba, Pirangi, Ribeirao Preto, Santo Antônio de Posse, São José do Rio Preto, Uchoa and Vista Alegre do Alto.
