In the face of the pandemic, the Doce Edition monitoring team informed the bidders about the necessary guidelines for the evaluation of the conditions for carrying out the activities, considering the Covid-19 health and safety protocols. Each bidder had the autonomy to evaluate and indicate the start date of their activities.
