On April 6, Brazil faced a heartbreaking milestone with over 4,000 COVID-19-related deaths in just 24 hours. 😷 Hospitals across the nation are bursting at the seams, with countless lives hanging in the balance as the health system teeters on the edge of collapse.
Amid this crisis, the streets are witnessing a troubling trend: thousands of people are ignoring isolation and social distancing guidelines, gathering in large crowds without masks in bars, restaurants, and parties. 🍻🎉
In response, the Rio de Janeiro local administration launched a robust counter-offensive in late March. This ambitious program deploys over a thousand enforcers dedicated to ensuring that social isolation measures are respected. 🚓💪
In an inspiring video, Brenno Carnevale, Secretary of Public Security of Rio de Janeiro, shares how the local police teams are on the frontlines, tirelessly working to curb the spread of the virus and protect the community. Their commitment is a beacon of hope in these challenging times. 🌟❤️
