As a prevention to Covid-19, this Friday’s program has undergone some modifications compared to previous electoral debates.

There was no hearing. Each candidate could only arrive at the station, in the Botanical Garden, accompanied by just one advisor.

At the entrance, they all submitted to a temperature measurement – if one of the candidates has a higher temperature 37.5ºC, the debate would be canceled. If an assistant had a fever, he should be replaced.

The candidates were only able to remain without a mask during the program. So, they were installed clear acrylic barriers to prevent any risk of contamination.
