Abstract
International migrants are at heightened risk for tuberculosis (TB) disease. Intensified incarceration at international borders may compound population-wide TB risk. However, few studies have investigated the contributions of migration, local transmission, or prisons in driving incident TB at international borders. We conducted prospective population-based genomic surveillance in 3 cities along Brazil’s central western border from 2014–2017. Although most isolates (89/132; 67%) fell within genomic transmission clusters, genetically unique isolates disproportionately occurred among participants with recent international travel (17/42; 40.5%), suggesting that both local transmission and migration contribute to incident TB. Isolates from 40 participants with and 76 without an incarceration history clustered together throughout a maximum-likelihood phylogeny, indicating the close interrelatedness of prison and community epidemics. Our findings highlight the need for ongoing

In May-2020 Infraero (the state airport operator, which now has a much-reduced role) signed a contract with the government of Guarujá in which Infraero will administer Guarujá Airport over the next 12 months. Infraero will have the target of enabling the airport to handle commercial services.
In Oct-2020 Infraero announced that Minas Gerais State Government had hired Infraero to administer Ipatinga Usiminas Airport for 12 months, with a possible extension.
Infraero will be responsible for operations, while the state will offer public safety, traffic inspections, environmental licences and water, electricity and phone bills.
Active airports for Infraero â a diminishing role, but it still retains a stake in some of Brazilâs largest airports
