After the release of masks in a closed space in SP this Thursday (17), companies took different directions on how to deal with protection in the office.
At Itaú, use is no longer mandatory only for customers in branches in cities and states that have made it more flexible. The orientation is that employees continue to use protection on the bank’s premises.
Coca-Cola Brazil says it is following the rules of each city. At the brand’s office in Rio, it is no longer mandatory. It will also be like this in SP, according to the company.
Deloitte will also no longer require masks in the capital. 99 says it is in contact with the government and is adapting to the new rules, but that it encourages drivers and passengers to use them on trips.
The relaxation in the use of masks in some cities and states was already bringing down the demand for the product at the pharmacy.
In Raia Drogasil, the retreat was 10% in the range from March 7 to 13 in relation to the previous week. According to the network, the movement comes from the second week of February.
Panvel also sees demand drop. On Friday (11), sales of the product had fallen 5% in the weekly comparison. Last Monday (14), the fall was 9%.
