One of the event’s producers, Davi Pena, denied it was a party. He said that after the most restrictive phase of the pandemic, events began to take place in a bar format. The bars can operate from September, according to the decree of the Federal District Government.

Asked about the number of people on the dance floor, without distance and without masks, standing, dancing in front of the DJ, he stated that this was the old format of ballads and that this no longer happens.

After receiving the call to the report, the page deleted the most recent video and others that were shown to the audience, but you can see the content and the dates here:

The images of Saturday night were published by the organization of the event, in the stories function and in the feed of the social network. There are similar records from several previous nights, also published by the organizers, since September.

The producer’s birthday party lasted three nights, from November 13-15, and was titled Party in Heavan (Party in the Sky).

The Sanitary Surveillance reports on its official website that, in October, 574 bars and restaurants were inspected in the Federal District. Of this total, 28 were evaluated and seven intercepted. “The Vigilance has acted, ostensibly, in the fight against crowds throughout the DF, which are prohibited, and continues to receive complaints from mass parties and disregard for preventive measures in the fight against the new coronavirus Sars-CoV-2,” he says in a note. .

“What we have seen are bars and restaurants that follow all protocols during the day, but at night they do not know the rules, they do not maintain the necessary distance between tables, they do not advise customers on the use of a mask, they reserve a space such as dancing and, in this way, end up fostering crowds and ignoring the rules ”, explains the deputy director of the DF Sanitary Surveillance, André Godoy.

All establishments that have been authorized to open must follow the measures recommended in Decree No. 40,939, of July 2, 2020. Among the main rules are: operation with 50% of the capacity authorized in the regulatory permit; minimum distance of two meters between tables; use of a mask by employees and customers; availability of 70% alcohol in gel and measurement of the temperature of all consumers.

Inspection actions by the Sanitary Surveillance take place during the week, including Saturdays and Sundays. Approximately 20% of inspections are carried out after receiving complaints made to the Ombudsman’s Office, by telephone 160, or by the GDF Ombudsman’s Office, for 162. Each notification of infringement gives rise to a process, with the right of defense of the owners. When the infringement is maintained, the fine can vary from R $ 2,000 to R $ 1,5 million, with the possibility of banning the establishment.
