It starts at 9:55 p.m. and goes through RTP 1 and RTP3: the presidential debate with all the candidates will actually take place, after the doubts generated by the positive test for Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, followed by two negative tests. However, there will only be six candidates in the study. The General Directorate of Health (DGS) advised the President of the Republic not to be present in the debate, so he will participate by videoconference from his home.
The information has already been confirmed by RTP itself, which has already used its last minute service in its RTP3 retransmission to confirm the debate. The public television channel had previously said that it was waiting for “concrete information from the health authorities” about the “results of the tests” covid-19 on Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa and “possible infections”.
With the two negative tests of the president after the positive and the negative of André Ventura, the debate advances. It was anticipated that all the candidates would be present at the place of the debate, but in the meantime, the DGS distanced the Head of State from that intention.
On Monday, around 10 o’clock at night, the Presidency of the Republic reported that the head of state had had a positive diagnostic test for the new coronavirus, but was asymptomatic, and canceled his entire schedule for the next few days. The following tests did not confirm the infection.
