On the first night of the new decree of the Government of the Federal District, which determined the closure of bars and restaurants in the DF at 11 at night to avoid a second wave of contagion by Covid-19, commercial establishments had difficulties to comply with the term. That is because several points were filled to broadcast the Flamengo game for the Libertadores.
Published in an extra edition of the Official Gazette of the Federation, hours after Governor Ibaneis Rocha (MDB) himself reported that he could use tougher measures to contain new cases of coronavirus, the decree came to light this Tuesday (1/12 ), with the championship calendar already defined.
The order imposed the end of the “file” even before the Flamengo game ended, which led to non-compliance by businessmen in the sector. According to the report of the Metropolis, some bars remained open after the deadline.
The university bars of Asa Norte 408 and 410, for example, continued with loud music and broadcasts of soccer games on giant screens. This was the case of Pôr do Sol, Toca do Coelho (featured photo), Campinense and Mendes. Some establishments cleared tables before 11 at night to discourage new customers, such as Pinella, Godofredo and Bogodó. But no one was expelled at the time determined by the local government.
At 11:15 pm, the Simpsons Bar at 203 North was closed. But the neighboring establishment, Dikanto Bar, was still open. “Covid-19 does not have time to collect, until 11 pm, can they not take more? The decree makes no sense, ”complained client Ronaldo de Melo. Ricardo Melo, also a Dikanto client, added: “In Libertadores there is no Covid.”
In Asa Sul, the Piauí bar and beverage distributor closed at 11:30 pm, as did the establishments in 314 Sul. In the Southwest, burgers and bars, such as Geleia and Blessed, also met the GDF.

Frustration
In the Southwest, friends Henrique Mendes, 27, and Carolina Rodrigues, 29, were at the Spot bar and found the experience they had the first night of the new decree effective. “The bar closed in the first half. I’m used to watching the game, we come to see it until the end ”, Henrique complains.
Carolina, who has already taken Covid-19 and is at risk of suffering from the disease due to comorbidities, considers the new text of the district executive controversial. “I got sick doing the isolation. I know it is necessary, but it seems as if it wanted to show service, before it worked well ”, he evaluated.
According to what they say, Fausto and Manoel do Sudoeste disobeyed the decree and closed it only at 11:30 pm, when the Flamengo game ended: “The customers were waiting. The game was over and, in a second, they closed everything, “said Caroline.
Even after the bars were closed in the Southwest, the Metropolis found that many customers continued to drink in the parking lots of commercial establishments in the region.

Great agglomeration
According to the governor, bars and restaurants were the first to enter the government’s goal now because it is “where we have seen a very large agglomeration.”
“I received reports from the Department of Health that indicate an increase in our indicator of contagion of the new coronavirus. The index, which had remained around 1, moved to 1.3. Before the situation got worse, I decided to give this message to the population, taking up some restrictive measures. In the face of any sign of worsening of the pandemic here in DF, we will review the measures and take even tougher measures, if applicable, “Ibaneis told the column. Large Angulardo Metropolis.

Shortly after the publication of the decree, the Secretary of Health of the Federal District, Osnei Okumoto, met with representatives of the productive sector, who disapproved of the restrictive measure.
“People can’t stand being at home anymore. So, we have to go out into the streets with conscience, “said the president of the Union of Hotels, Restaurants, Bars and Related of Brasilia (Sindhobar), Jael Silva, who asked Okumoto to revoke the decree, recalling that the sector” is already injured “.
According to Jael, 3,000 companies were closed during the pandemic and the sector laid off 25,000 people. The union member stressed that the security protocol is strictly followed by “99.9% of bars and restaurants.” “We have some that are being extrapolated. These have to be penalized, but the whole segment cannot pay for a few ”, he said.
The president of the Federal District Chamber of Merchants (CDL-DF), José Carlos Magalhães ratified the opinion that the bars and restaurants segment cannot be blamed for the growth in the transmission rate of Covid-19 in the federal capital. . He suggested reviewing the extended vacations: “People make amends, end up traveling and fraternizing more. The segment of bars, hotels and restaurants cannot be blamed forever for this increase in Covid ”.
The president of the Federation of Commerce of Goods, Services and Tourism of the Federal District (Fecomércio-DF), Francisco Maia, offered to help the government to adopt measures to raise awareness and combat Covid-19, but considered the idea of closing trade in this period close to Christmas. “We do not want to abandon this ship, because we are responsible for the economy of the Federal District. Everything that is possible, we will do it ”, he guaranteed.
