Crivella prevented bathers from remaining on the sand of the beach of the prohibited municipality, despite the fact that the measure was disrespected by the population.

The Secretary of Health, Beatriz Busch, called on the population to respect the rules of social distance. She criticized the city’s constant scenes of crowded beaches. This Sunday, with a maximum temperature recorded of 37.5 degrees by the Rio Alert System, the edge of the city was crowded.
– We observe disorderly behavior, especially when we talk about beaches, whose use is prohibited, only swimming in the sea and some sports activities are allowed. But we look at people, beach huts, crowds. We need the help of the population so that there are no setbacks in our planning. Beach, crowded bars, this is not the time for that. The city reaches a stage in which the disease has an endemic behavior, but we do not know how long we will live with it – evaluated the secretary.
The City Council affirms that the Ministry changed its criteria
The resumption of activities in the cultural sector was scheduled for 15 days ago, when for the first time the city government postponed one of the steps of the reopening. At the time, the Scientific Committee considered it necessary to better evaluate the impact of the resumption of phase 5 activities, such as visits to tourist spots and the return from corporate congresses.
– We had some meetings of the Scientific Committee precisely to make an interpretation of all the numbers that are being published. The media reported an increase in the number of deaths. It is important to note that there was a change in criteria by the Ministry of Health, the reality is that the municipality is still stable in terms of the number of deaths. We are also evaluating the flu syndrome indicators, hospitalizations, which had a slight increase, which is perfectly absorbed by our health system, and which reflect the period of the year and the state in which the system was prepared to monitor this moment of Resumption. of economic activities – said the superintendent of Health Surveillance, Flávio Graça.

As with the third phase, phase 6 will be divided into two parts. According to Graça, the division is justified by the number of activities resumed. The first, phase 6A, is expected to last 30 days.
– Could have a slightly greater impact on pollution curves. Phase 6B is characterized by the end of the recovery plan. Shortly after, we will enter a period, which we call conservative, which will probably extend until next year, when we already have a vaccine, a situation of greater balance – said the superintendent of Health Surveillance.

Also following the golden rules created by the city council, the children’s party rooms can reopen, but only with a third of the capacity. Spaces dedicated to adult celebrations, however, are still prohibited.
The professional and training courses, which are usually taught either by companies or institutions, can be carried out in person, respecting security and moving criteria.
“It is forbidden to stay on the sands of the beaches. Even so, they are crowded and with people without masks. You cannot imagine that the population is made up of unruly children. You can’t inspect and take the crowd off the beach “
Crowded beaches and bars influenced the committee’s decision
The impossibility of maintaining the fall in the number of deaths from Covid-19 and the behavior of the population, which has been filling the beaches and bars, are some of the factors that led the members of the scientific committee to advise Mayor Marcelo Crivella to divide phase 6. into two parts. The doctor and professor at UFRJ Celso Ramos said that the difficulty of lowering the number of deaths is a reflection, for example, of the lack of respect for the rules that prohibit people from staying in the sand and making crowds like the ones that happened over the weekend.

– It is forbidden to stay on the sands of the beaches. Even so, they are crowded and with people without masks. You cannot imagine that the population is made up of unruly children. It is not possible to monitor and eliminate the crowd on the beach. The bars are also still full. Points like Rua Dias Ferreira, in Leblon; Vila Isabel and Méier are still full. In the case of bars, punishment is still possible. The owner of the establishment can be fined, but they are still complete – evaluated the doctor.

Celso Ramos also explains that the fact that we are in a stage in which the disease becomes endemic, it is normal that there is an oscillation of cases. However, he points out that we are still on the plateau with a very high death rate (around 900 deaths per day in the country). This is still a parameter that is used to exercise caution when doing flex. Cinemas and theaters were left out of phase 6A due to crowding at the entrance and exit.
– In these places it is normal to have lines to enter. Also, even if there are marked seats inside, it is almost impossible to control after the lights are turned off. Another factor is that they are closed places – added Celso Ramos.
