“Instead of walking the dog, they would walk with each other and socialize”

Albuquerque points out “abuses” as the reason for banning walks during curfews.

As there are doubts about the exception measures expressed in the Resolution in force, namely with regard to short walks or walking pets during the curfew, today the President of the Regional Government clarified that these exceptions were allowed until the previous week to Carnival, and have since been banned.

“It is prohibited because it was found that there were a number of abuses. Instead of walking the dog, they would walk with each other and socialize ”. This is the main reason for maintaining the ban, initially envisaged to be in effect only during the week of Carnival.

“I’m sorry to say, but the ban will continue for a while until things get back on track,” he says.
