In a breathtaking investigation, Conexão Repórter this Monday, May 25, reveals in detail the dramatic situation experienced in Amapá. Roberto Cabrini goes to the first state to declare a lockdown throughout its territory and shows that in Macapá, in the far north of the country, the coronavirus has already left deep scars. Cabrini travels to the four corners of the city and comes face to face with the sad reality of a place where death has become commonplace. The viewer will see how patients are crowded into corridors of crowded hospitals, where there is a lack of medicines, beds, resources, protective equipment and respirators. In addition, the program also reveals that relatives of hospitalized patients buy medicines with their own money and nurses use the elastic bands from their own masks as bandages. The journalist has access to the Children's Hospital of Macapá and shows the drama of children infected by the virus, bringing reports of how the lack of ICU beds determines who lives and who dies - whether from Covid-19 or other diseases. The journalist also investigates how local authorities are reacting to this chaotic scenario of a pandemic with devastating effects.
