"Some are going to die, they will die. Sorry, it's life. You can't stop a car factory just because you have traffic deaths,” Jair Bolsonaro said.

Federal Judge Laura Bastos Saturday ordered President Jair Bolsonaro's administration to suspend promos of “Brazil Cannot Stop”, a campaign that promotes the return to work, which is contrary to measures imposed by regional governors to contain the Covid-19.

Bastos complied with an appeal filed by the Prosecutor General’s Office against ads that urge Brazilians to return to “normal life” without having “technical documents” as their basis.

The controversy broke out when the far-right President's son, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, shared a video on networks that encouraged entrepreneurs to reopen their businesses and street vendors to resume their activities.
