247 - The courts in at least three Brazilian states have banned demonstrations that result in the gathering of people, such as those seen this past weekend by supporters of Jair Bolsonaro and in defense of reopening businesses, a position he also supports. The organizers of these demonstrations could face legal consequences. 

In the states of Maranhão and Goiás, the decisions are valid for the entire territory. In São Paulo, however, the measures are valid for specific regions.
