As DIÁRIO reported in its print edition this Tuesday, Machico registered 46 new cases of covid-19 in a single week.

Due to this situation, the authorities are forced to reinforce preventive measures.

The coordinator of the Municipal Civil Protection Service of Machico, Márcio Gouveia, spoke with DIÁRIO, confirming that the measures will be toughened.

That is, there will be no more sensitization action to have a more muscular action by the PSP and GNR agents, each with perfectly defined areas.

GNR will pay particular attention to the bars of Santo da Serra, Porto da Cruz and Água de Pena, while PSP will take a closer look at Caniçal and Machico.

All because the municipal authorities are witnessing an escalation of active cases of covid19 in Machico, for which, they emphasize, there is no more awareness.

Meanwhile, on Facebook, the Municipal Civil Protection Service left a message to the population:

Given the recent developments in the municipal territory, in relation to the increase in cases of COVID-19, it was decided together with the Health Authorities, Safety and Rescue Authorities, within the scope of the different competences, to reinforce the following measures to be implemented immediately throughout the Municipal territory:

  • 2- Strengthen inspection in public spaces with special attention to crowding of people and the non-use of personal protective equipment;
