Welberth Rezende on Twitter: masks are no longer mandatory

The decision was made in light of the decline in the main pandemic indicators in Macaé, analyzed over the past 15 days by the Special Committee for Monitoring And Facing The Covid-19 Pandemic. Thus, the flexibilization of sanitary protocols for combating the disease is expanded. The vaccinated population in Macaé reached 68%, considering the two doses and single dose of the vaccine.

In the decree signed by Rezende, however, there is a recommendation for the use of facial protection on public transport, schools, banks, healthcare facilities, bus stations, airports, and ports; and for immunosuppressed individuals, those with respiratory illness symptoms, pregnant women, and the elderly.

The Mayor of Macaé, Welberth Rezende, asked the population to continue cooperating with safety regulations and expressed gratitude. “Macaé had an average of half the deaths that occurred in the rest of the state. It was certainly due to this partnership with the University (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro), the scientific committee, and the population that joined and directly participated in the whole campaign,” highlighted the manager.

To date, the state of Rio de Janeiro has recorded 72,591 deaths from Covid-19 and about 2,700 cases currently. According to the epidemiological bulletin from the municipality of Macaé, the Oil Capital has recorded 823 deaths from the disease.

Why Is Macaé The National Oil City?

In the early 1970s, Macaé entered a new economic phase with the discovery of oil in the Campos Basin, Brazil’s continental shelf. Thus, there was a significant boost to the local economy, with Petrobras showing interest in establishing operations in the municipality.

As a result, Macaé contributed to Brazil becoming one of the most advanced countries in deep-water prospecting for oil extraction, making the municipality known as the Oil Capital.

It is in Macaé that several Petrobras facilities and companies from the offshore sector are located. This basin accounts for 80% of Brazil’s crude oil and 47% of the country’s natural gas production.

Why Is Macaé The National Oil City?

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Samsung advances with floating nuclear power plant at sea: South Korean platform will have two SMART100 reactors and can supply islands, ports, and industrial hubs without depending on fossil fuels on land.

Temperature influences the performance of electrified vehicles: a new AAA study exposes the truth about cold and heat in electric and hybrid cars and reveals unexpected range losses in extreme situations.

Contran suspended 3.4 million electronic Free Flow toll fines in Brazil. Drivers have until November 16, 2026, to settle outstanding payments, and Brazil’s CNH app must integrate the system within 30 days.

Tanquã: the gigantic flooded area created by a dam on the Tietê River that became São Paulo’s “mini-Pantanal”, grew larger than Paris and today attracts tourists with 435 animal species and 361 plant species.

Instead of spending months building walls directly on the site, Nestron sells compact prefabricated homes that arrive with a bed, sofa, equipped kitchen, full bathroom, smart system, and are ready for immediate occupancy in a small footprint.
