Protesters caravanned in several Brazilian cities on Sunday (29), demanding that local governments end isolation measures and reopen trade and schools amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Criticized by Minister Luiz Henrique Mandetta (Health) and spurred on by President Jair Bolsonaro himself, one of the caravans passed through Paulista Avenue. There, locals greeted the procession with clanging pots and pans and shouts of "Fora, Bolsonaro."
The protesters remained in their cars amid the pandemic that has killed 136 people in the country until this Sunday.

Last week, the president himself posted on his social media the video of a motorcade held in Balneário Camboriú (SC).
