The inspection indicated that the bars operated outside the established hours, and there was no absence of distance or use of masks, in addition to crowds
Attendees at a bar near Plaza Raúl Soares, in downtown BH, and another on Avenida Guarapari, in the Pampulha region, were forced to finish their celebrations earlier than expected. These commercial spaces were closed in the early hours of Saturday (21) by the Inspection Secretariat of the Belo Horizonte City Council (PBH) after the agents detected the breach of sanitary regulations in these places. In addition to the agglomeration of people, which goes against the orientation of the municipality in the midst of the new coronavirus pandemic, the gates kept the doors open outside the hours regulated by municipal legislation, in addition, they allowed customers to ignore the minimum distance and the mandatory use of a mask.
The interdictions carried out this Saturday are just a couple of the 134 actions taken by the municipality that guaranteed the temporary closure of establishments that fail to comply with the health measures that seek to reduce the speed of transmission of Covid-19 in Belo Horizonte. Nineteen fines were imposed, according to the Secretary of Security, between March 19 and November 15. By the way, the residents of BH can help report spaces that refuse to comply with the determinations of municipal management – only report crowds and parties on the official channels of the city council, among them is the BH App.
Prevention actions have been taking place for about eight months in Belo Horizonte, and may intensify at this time when the transmission rate increases again in the city – more than 52 thousand inhabitants are infected and 1,610 deaths according to a published bulletin on Friday (20). One concern is the relaxation of basic security measures by the population, as the municipality explained in a note. “Integrated inspection teams have been working daily to educate people to avoid crowds, however, relaxation has been observed on the part of the population, who ignore the rules of distance and are promoting meetings and parties that are scheduled through Internet”. .
