That’s what this sixreader column found out The cast of ‘Beyond Illusion’ planned to get together to celebrate the 100th chapter of TV Globo’s 6pm plot. The actors arranged to meet at a bar on the outskirts of Estúdios Globo in Curicica, in Rio’s West Zone, where they watched the 100th episode of the feuilleton together.
However, the event, which was due to take place this Friday (3), had to be waved after the numerous confirmed cases of Covid19 that resurfaced behind the scenes of the family channel Marinho. The station’s programming even suffered some temporary slumps in some of its main programs due to the illness.
After Carnival 2022, the recordings of Beyond Illusion were halted due to the increase in cases of Covid19 behind the scenes of the storyline. Along with the cast, producers and other technical personnel have also tested positive for the disease.

At the end of last month Marcos Mion announced that he had tested positive for Covid19 and had to cancel some recordings of ‘Caldeirão’. Additionally, he was also eventually eliminated from Ivete Sangalo’s birthday special after being replaced by Érico Brás in the presentation.
Ana Furtado also missed the ‘Dança dos Famosos’ on ‘Domingão’ after testing positive for the new coronavirus. The presenter even had to face the contest’s repechage because he lost one of the rounds and was unscored.
At “Mais Você” Ana Maria Braga also had to be withdrawn from the activities due to the positive diagnosis for Covid19 and even her substitute in the presentation, Talitha Morete, could not take over the show because she also tested positive for the new coronavirus. The mission was then left to moderator Fabrício Battaglini.
Michel Teló was another who also tested positive and had to be rushed off on ‘The Voice Kids’. Toni Garrido was chosen at the last minute to replace the sertanejo in musical reality. Teló even shared that his wife Thais Fersoza and their two children were not infected.
In Rio de Janeiro, where TV Globo is headquartered, the surge in the number of Covid19 cases prompted the community to reactivate testing centers. However, Mayor Eduardo Paes said he would not return with restrictive measures to stem the spread of the disease, saying he was not in a “serious” situation.
However, Paes recommended the use of masks for the elderly, people with comorbidities and children in schools. According to the prefecture’s technical analysis, the increase in Covid19 cases at this time of year was already expected, as in other respiratory diseases.
