*Coronavirus in Brasilia
377 confirmed cases and 4 deaths due to coronavirus in Federal District. Brazil has 7910 cases and 299 deaths.
* New restrictions
Ibaneis, Federal District's governor, extended the restrictions until May 3rd. It means that malls, cinemas, museums, restaurants, food courts and non essential shops will remain closed until May 3rd. Ibaneis, however, flexibilized the openings of open markets (such as Feira do Guará - a very good place to buy fish, fruits and vegetables), but only for food for humans and animals.
* Schools and colleges closed until May 31st. Distance learning (by internet and TV) is planned to start soon for the students in the public system. High school students will access the content first hand.
* Private schools against mandatory discount. There is a law project of deputado (local Congressman) Rafael Prudente that would oblige private schools to give 30% discount in the fees. This project was not approved yet and the sindicate that represents the private schools says this discount would be a disaster for the sector because many of the schools are small ones and the staff salary represents 70% of theirs expenses.
