The Vale do Homem Social Center, with three units in Vila Verde and Amares, distributed a prize of 7,900 euros to the 55 employees, in view of the inconvenience caused in the last two months by the covid-19 pandemic, it was announced today. The bonus was paid on April’s salary.
In statements to O MINHO, the president of the board explains that the collaborators covered by the measure are those of the teams that spent 24 hours a day, for 14 days, confined to homes, to protect users from the possible contagion inserted from the outside. .
With 93 users residing permanently in the Social Center, Casa da Alegria and Lar das Termas, no case of infection was recorded within the home, and all the PCR tests carried out in the homes resulted in a negative result.
“We believe this is a fair way to compensate employees for the time they have been confined in our buildings,” adds Jorge Pereira, adding that the award was not divided equally, favoring those who spent more time confined to the installations.
“Some received more and others less, depending on the days they were inside the building to support users,” he emphasized. Jorge Pereira has no doubts that this closure has made “until last week, the CSVH continue with all users without an infection record” of the SARS-CoV-2.
We know the risk of opening homes to visitors.
When asked about the new DGS guideline that recommends opening visits to residential structures, Jorge Pereira believes that it is a “risky” measure but that “it was necessary to take it.”

For “normal” visits, the CSVH has prepared a room where access is guaranteed from the outside, for visitors and from the inside, for users. “There is no crossing of visits, there is social distance with acrylic panels, hygiene dispensers, temperature measurement and mandatory use of a mask,” he reinforces.
