VOICED : Rio de Janeiro aplaza desfiles de carnaval por la pandemia

The increase in COVID-19 cases has led to the postponement of the Rio and Sao Paulo carnival parades to April. The decision was made after a virtual meeting between city officials and samba school representatives. Street carnivals have been canceled, and no new date is set. Health protocols for Sambadrome entry are yet to be announced, but may include vaccination proof. Brazil is experiencing a surge in cases due to the Omicron variant, with record daily infections and a high death toll.
