According to a neighbor, the twins faced each other in the hospital room. Although they endured the fight for several weeks, the virus was stronger and took the two within days of each other.

Last week, Jailson’s friends organized a “pool” to pay for the private bed he occupied until Monday, March 15. The debt to the hospital exceeded 20 thousand dollars and was paid with what was collected in raffles and with the sale of the deceased’s car.
