Guimarães mayor, Domingos Bragança, ordered the temporary suspension of shows scheduled for all cultural facilities in the municipality, the mayor said in a statement.
The directive will remain in force “until the Municipal Civil Protection, in which the health and safety authorities sit, after having listened to the entities that manage the municipal teams that host shows, conclude the measures to be taken”, said Domingos Bragança .
The position was taken “in the face of news and images” about a show held in Multiusos de Guimarães, promoted by the Tempo Livre Cooperative, which it suggested despite the health safety regulations associated with covid-19.
It all started with an image of the controversy, published by ‘Pipoca Mais Doce’, name on the internet of the blogger, digital influencer and commentator for Big Brother, TVI, Ana García Martins. The former journalist was on Saturday in Multiusos de Guimarães as a comedian, in a show that also featured Nilton and Hugo Sousa and, thanking the crowd that received her, ended up being harshly criticized, as well as the show pavilion, for the amount. people in public (about a thousand), in a closed space, the same day that Portugal registered a record of more than 1600 new cases of Covid-19 in 24 hours.
In the specific case, says the mayor, the room has a capacity for 2,466 seats and 964 seats were filled, corresponding to 40% of the capacity, so the “contingency plan” approved by the health authorities was met.
“However, the epidemiological situation that currently exists in the municipality requires the adoption of more restrictive regulations than those currently prescribed by the legal framework applicable to these situations,” recognizes Domingos Bragança.
