The Banho 29 tradition was fulfilled again in the municipality of Sines, district of Setúbal, with two distinct initiatives: in the morning, in Porto Covo, about a hundred people, mostly young, swam in the sea at 7am, maintaining a tradition followed for years; two hours later, in Sines, a procession took place with women and men dressed as peasants, with combinations, caps and pajamas, to the sound of the Philharmonic Band, descending the streets of the city to Vasco da Gama beach, where participants also entered the water. The president of the Parish Council of Sines highlighted that the tradition represents "the connection that local people have with the sea" and allows us to understand "the evolution of customs". After the swim, a shared snack was served on the beach.

Padilha says he is also trying to contact the USA 'individually' regarding Lito Souza's case

The Minister of Health, Alexandre Padilha, said he is in contact with the United States — both through the ministry and individually — to try to integrate pilot and influencer Lito Sousa, 59 years old, into a study at Harvard University on Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, an incurable and untreatable disease. Padilha explained that he was contacted by Lito's wife, Mila Seidl, and decided to make contact not only as a government representative but also individually, because, according to him, a government asking something from another government for internal matters can seem strange, especially when it involves a research group.
