RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – A new decree from Mayor Eduardo Paes, published this Friday, April 23, in the Municipal Gazette, revokes the prohibition of beachgoers on the sand and releases, in addition to staying on the shore, sea bathing, but only on weekdays. Vendors will also be free to work on the sand and can also return to work on weekdays.
Reinfected, Paes remains in quarantine. The new measures were announced by the Secretary of Finance and Planning, Pedro Paulo Carvalho.
The curfew is still in effect – it is still forbidden to stay in the streets and public places during the early hours of the morning, from 11 pm to 5 am. The new rules go into effect on the first minute of this Saturday and last until May 3rd.
Another novelty is the release of non-essential activities working until 10 pm, with 40% of the capacity in closed places. Parties and social events, in general, remain suspended.
