Unfortunately, cases of the new coronavirus pandemic that has directly affected the world have only tripled, and in Brazil it could not be different, as social isolation is not being fully respected.
The common sense among all countries in the world is: stay at home, only go out if you really need it urgently and absolutely, however, what we see on the streets and in the squares is the overcrowding of people, the desperation to buy tons of things without really needing them.
The guidelines of the World Health Organization remain, and to flatten this curve, that is, to prevent it from progressing, the most recommended is not to be in environments where the number of people is large, therefore, we leave here our request for collaboration: only leave home if it is for mandatory work and urgent need.
