On May 2, there was the first complaint of fever and pain from three workers on a platform called PXA1.

Three days later, five workers with symptoms of COVID-19 disembarked; those who remained on board and had direct contact with these five were kept isolated internally. However, without effective sanitary results.

An interconnected platform to PXA1, within the same oil field (Xaréu), called PXA2, was also affected by the effects of the pandemic and today, in addition to PXA1 itself, is uninhabited.

In addition, one of the symptomatic workers entered a third platform, called PAT3, which is currently normally inhabited.

On Sunday (05/10), another oil worker presented symptoms of coronavirus; he was in another production field, CURIMÃ.

The Oil Workers Union of Ceará stated that Petrobras insists on maintaining shipments, and that the measures taken by the state company are ineffective, as a new outbreak may establish itself and repeat the situation.

“Management has neglected care for the workforce. The first masks were only a single layer of TNT, without elastic, to be assembled by the user and in insufficient quantity,” reported one of the workers.

The Public Labor Ministry was notified, according to Sindipetro-CE
