The Ministry of Internal Administration (MAI) announced that 14 people were detained for the crime of disobedience, until 5:00 p.m. this Sunday, within the scope of the third period of the State of Emergency, effective as of 00:00 on Saturday.
In a note, the AMI stressed that four of these citizens were detained for disobedience to the obligation of mandatory confinement and 10 for disobedience to the general duty of house arrest.
In the same period, according to the AMI, 22 establishments were closed for non-compliance with the established norms.
MAI pointed out that these 14 arrests and the closure of 22 establishments add to the figures of the first two periods of emergency.
In the first period, between March 22 and April 2, 108 people were arrested for the crime of disobedience and 1,708 commercial establishments were closed, and in the second period, between April 03 and 17, 184 arrests for the crime of disobedience and 432 establishments were closed.
Globally, the covid-19 pandemic has already claimed more than 160,000 deaths and infected more than 2.3 million people in 193 countries and territories. More than 518,000 patients were considered cured.
In Portugal, 714 people of the 20,206 registered as infected died.
The disease is transmitted by a new coronavirus detected in late December in Wuhan, a city in central China.
To combat the pandemic, governments sent 4.5 billion people home (more than half the world’s population), ended non-essential trade and dramatically reduced air traffic, paralyzing entire sectors of the world economy.
Faced with a decrease in new patients in intensive care and contagion, some countries have begun to develop plans to reduce confinement and, in some cases, such as Denmark, Austria or Spain, to alleviate some of the measures.
