Despite being a keen football fan, the Brazilian President wasn’t allowed to enter the stadium and it shows that the club is following every possible measure to curb the spread of covid.
On the flip side, Santos’ spokesperson cleared the rumors by saying that the club wasn’t approached by the president’s team and that all fans must follow the country’s sanitary regulations.
As per data, more than 600,000 residents have died after contracting covid-19 in Brazil.
