Bathers once again fill beaches in SP and commit irregularities | Santos and Region

The region has a forecast of sunshine and temperatures of up to 28 ° C during the holidays, which should attract even more tourists to the São Paulo coast. In the images you can see bathers walking along the sea, practicing physical activities and children playing on the sand strip. To try to avoid crowds on the beaches, at least 400 military policemen were directed to Baixada Santista.

The greater flexibility for activities on the beaches, in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, has increasingly motivated tourists to go to the cities of the region. According to Ecovias, the concessionaire that manages the Anchieta-Imigrantes System (SAI), more than 145,000 vehicles have already passed through the system to the municipalities of Baixada Santista on the holiday.

In all the cities of the region, the beach is free for individual sports, as well as for sea bathing and water sports. The only city that allows the use of chairs and umbrellas is Peruíbe.

According to the Santos City Council, the Municipal Civil Guard (GCM) registered a normal movement on the shore, as expected due to the extension of the holiday. Despite the large number of bathers and pedestrians, there were no known problems during the approaches.

In total, the municipal guards provided 402 guidelines on the use of the sand strip and 174 guidelines on the use of face protection masks. Five fines were also imposed by the teams conducting the inspection on the beach.

According to the epidemiological bulletin sent by the Mayor of Santos last Friday (4), the municipality registers 18,654 confirmed cases of Covid-19, as well as 573 deaths caused by the disease. In total, Baixada Santista has more than 50 thousand positive cases and 1,815 deaths caused by the new coronavirus.
