With The Distribution And Logistics System Of Oil Supplies Interrupted In Macaé Due To Covid-19, The Shadow Of Recession Returns To Hover Over The City

Macaé has already been immediately suffering the impacts of the epidemic caused by Covid-19 on its economy, which is almost entirely based on the oil industry and now intensified with the first case officially confirmed yesterday (27) by the municipal government authorities.

There May Be Mass Layoffs In Macaé

Third-party companies providing services to Petrobras and other oil companies have already begun to lay off employees. Not only residents of Macaé but also those from other oil-producing cities like Maricá, Niterói, and neighboring areas.

As most of the workforce is now required by service demand and employers are opting for temporary contracts, contractors are laying off instead of retaining employees, generating costs without being able to produce due to the pandemic recession.

Oil Service Providers Are Facing Difficulties

The mayor of Macaé ordered through a decree that sanitary barriers be installed at all entry and exit points, with only essential services and city residents allowed to pass. As a result, shipments of supplies to offshore units are having difficulties crossing. Food, equipment, and hygiene products used on platforms are at risk, jeopardizing operations already reduced due to Covid-19.

Petrobras issued a new statement and will suspend all activities indefinitely, only maintaining production services, as without oil, neither Macaé nor Brazil will be able to maintain any other essential services without fuel.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Two-thirds of Americans believe that a world war is imminent and are investing millions in refurbished nuclear silos, underground bunkers, and fortified ranches to survive the worst-case scenario.

Goodbye to stacked pots under the counter: the new kitchen trend is already winning over Brazilian homes with more practical solutions that make daily life easier, create a more functional space, and make the environment more elegant.

Store employees in Paraná go viral, hit targets on social media, receive a comment from Luciano Hang, and secure a trip to Beto Carrero paid for by the boss in October.

Satellite images show China blocking reef with a barrier at sea while the U.S. clashes with Iran.

Justice suspends the purchase of R$ 85.5 million in fire-fighting robots in Paraná, pointing to possible direction without bidding and halts the contract due to risk to public assets.
