The Guimarães City Council decided to suspend the live shows after an event in the Multipurpose Pavilion with comedians Nilton, A Pipoca Mais Doce and Hugo Sousa generated controversy on social networks for allegedly attracting too many people. The participants and the Tempo Livre Cooperative, organizer of the event, have already stated that the safety regulations have been met and the Chamber itself assumes that “in a room layout with a capacity of 2466 seats, 964 seats were occupied, corresponding to 40% of the capacity “. .

Domingos Bragança, Guimarães mayor justified the decision with the covid-19 outbreaks that are felt in the municipality. “The epidemiological situation that currently exists in the municipality requires the adoption of more restrictive norms than those currently prescribed in the legal framework applicable to these situations,” he acknowledges, according to Lusa. The municipality of Guimarães, in the Braga district, registers 1,417 confirmed cases of covid-19 infection, according to data from the General Health Directorate reported this Saturday.

The directive will be in force “until the Municipal Civil Protection, in which the health and safety authorities sit, after consulting with the managing entities of the municipal teams hosting the sample, concludes the measures to be taken. The decision was made after the images and news that circulated and the criticism on social networks for the number of people who were in the place.

In her Instagram, sharing images of the event that prove that the safety regulations have been met, Ana García Martins, better known as A Pipoca Mais Doce, wrote: “It was a show authorized by the DGS, the Guimarães City Council and all the authorities competent. As seems obvious, neither I nor my colleagues work secretly or act illegally. “

The blogger and comedian argues that “all the people wore masks, there were dispensers of disinfectant gel in the room, the entrances and exits of the room were done in an orderly and controlled manner. always a chair to guarantee that distance (as required by DGS) “. He also leaves the criticism to the City Council,” therefore, the places where people are safe are closed and, who knows, next weekend they will be crowded in the streets and much more exposed to the virus ”.

Hugo Sousa also referred to the controversy, writing in the Instagram stories “guys, safety rules are always strictly observed in my shows”. Nilton, for his part, says that “there are guys who send messages saying that we can’t do shows with so many people. Let’s see something, in a room of 4 thousand there were 800 and thus duly separated and even fulfilling more than what the government orders. So where do we stay? “
