BH: Sunday with the return of the municipal park to visitors – General

After the animals are vaccinated and monitored, the municipality ensures that no other animal with the disease is detected. So he just thanks the visitors. “The tour was very quiet and after such a long period of lockdown, it was very exciting to be back here,” says Silvia Martins-Cunha, 39.

The last time I came was in January 2020 and the city closed in March. It was a surprise to get a ticket to come today, but I tried it early. I think those who try at the last minute may not succeed, the movement is good, and there are a lot of children on the playground,” he notes.

Her 9 year old son ran to play in the little castle as soon as he walked into the hallway. “I miss you.” “Here is a good place to walk and play,” said Phibio, full of joy.

garden love

With gorgeous gardens and welcoming lakes, Municipal Park is a treat for couples looking for a quiet walk close to nature. The case of Clauder Dias, 33, and Daisian Almeida, 28. The two lovers met early in the morning to enjoy each other’s company, accompanied by a hearty snack brought from home.

“It’s great. Very good, very quiet, the environment is pleasant, and the lawn is well looked after,” he praises. The partner, wearing the Atlético jersey, dedicated for the second time in Brazil this week, also enjoyed the tour. “We spent the day out outing and strengthening the alliance as lovers. I loved the fact of getting a date because there is no way to get a racket in the park, so it is more familiar,” he adds.

family is here

Deisiane is right. Sunday of quiet movement and family all around. For example, the family of Paulo Sergio Lemos, 49, left Contagem, in the metropolitan area, early to take everyone to the park: his wife, children and granddaughter.

“Today is a holy day you spend with them, right?” , commented. However, the children’s complaint: “The theme park would have gotten back together, and the boys would come with the expectation that they were actually playing,” he points out. But nothing discourages them, for later they have lunch with the family and the joy continues.

Municipal park reopened

The Amrico Renn Giannetti Municipal Park reopened last week. With tickets reserved this first minute, visits require advance scheduling and can take place Tuesday through Sunday, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

There are 1,500 tickets per shift, morning and afternoon, ensuring daily 3,000 people get to the attraction, which is located in central Belo Horizonte, according to Fundao de Parques Municipais e Zoobotnica (FPMZB).

Although the park is open until 6pm, entry is allowed until 5pm. To attend Municipal Park, the first step is to get a free ticket, available on Mondays, from 8am, through the PBH website (www.pbh.org.br).

On the page, the visitor must choose the date of the tour. The city council will also provide plenty of extra pieces, which those interested can pick up at the park gates. The quota will consist of tquettes from people who made the appointment but did not show up.

Access Rules

Another requirement is proof of yellow fever vaccination, as happens in other green areas of Belo Horizonte. Children under 9 months of age, who cannot be immunized against the disease, will not be able to access the venue.

Those who for some reason do not have evidence can fill out a affidavit, filed in the garden, stating that they have already been vaccinated for more than 10 days. This form can also be filled out online, in the booking process.

Advance scheduling is still required due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as the site is located in a central area with a large number of people flowing in.

Other instructions for safety measures must also be followed, as well as the mandatory use of a mask during the entire stay in the venue, physical distancing, and constant hand hygiene.

control anger

The park was suspended for nine months and identified after the Department of Zoonoses in the municipality of Belo Horizonte identified 21 bats and game contaminated with the rabies virus, fatal to humans.

Because of the risks, all the cats that frequented the venue received the rabies vaccination and the animals were monitored. So far, the municipality says it has not detected any other animal with the disease.

If bats with abnormal behavior are identified, residents should not touch the animal or attempt to remove it. The recommendation is to immediately contact the capital’s zoonotic services, so that a team can be sent to the site to collect them appropriately.

Phone numbers are 3277-7411 / 3277-7413 / 3277-7414 or call 156. During the appointment, visitors will receive important rabies education recommendations, which they should be aware of before completing the process.
