MANAUS – After the Government of Amazonas fines those responsible for the Gusttavo Lima show in Manaus, on Wednesday, 8, the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the State (MP-AM) evaluates entering a request, in court, to stop the show of comedian and youtuber Whindersson Nunes, scheduled to happen this Saturday, 11, in the Arena da Amazonia, in the Midwest zone of the Amazon capital. The information was found by the reporting team of CENARIUM REVIEW.

The expectation is that the event with Whindersson will gather more than 30 thousand people. The analysis of restricting shows of the youtuber occurred after the discovery of the variant of the new coronavirus, the Omicron, a new strain, whose lethality has no information, but it is already proven that the variant has a high degree of contamination.

As a preventive measure, the Intersectorial Committee to Combat Covid in Amazonas defined, yesterday, 8, the number of up to 3 thousand participants per show in the State, but Whindersson Nunes’ program was scheduled more than a month ago.

“We verified that there was omission of health security in the previous show (of singer Gusttavo Lima) and we can not take another risk. There is a new variant that is going around the world and we have no control over it, but we have the power to prevent new negligence,” a source from the MP-AM explained to CENARIUM.

The hospital occupancy rate for Covid-19, in clinical beds, is considered low, 16.05%, according to FVS/RCP. The risk calculation for pandemic is done based on the evolution of diseases inserted in the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) group, which among them is the Covid-19.

“Providing 20 50-liter cylinders of oxygen to distribute to the most urgent units in Manaus. Hello, my artist friends. When it is time for a show, it is so good when the public receives us with affection, isn’t it? Let’s give something back?”.
