The General Director of Health acknowledged this Monday, during the usual press conference to update the epidemiological evolution, that “there were things that went well and others that went worse” in the Portuguese Formula 1 Grand Prix, held over the weekend in Portimão. Graça Freitas admitted that there were “discrepancies between the recommendations and the control capacity” on the part of the organization, although she does not believe that “a dramatic situation will occur.”
The head of the DGS guaranteed that there is a “desire to improve” and draws “lessons learned for the future”: “We learned that if we want to have more control over the imponderables we will have to have fewer people at the events,” said Graça Freitas.
“Probably we should, in the near future, greatly restrict events or limit their number,” added the Director General of Health, adding that there was “joint responsibility of the citizens, the organization and the General Directorate of Health” for the images of the assemblies checked, without respecting the physical distance, during the Portuguese GP.
“In the training session, most of the benches, despite not being extraordinarily organized, complied with the distance rules and two benches, in fact, did not comply with those rules,” said Graça Freitas.
“What was done for the day of the race was to move people to another sector,” he explained.
