Traditional carnival moved to Rio de Janeiro - Globo

Carnival processions in Rio de Janeiro, which were traditionally supposed to take place in February 2021, will be postponed to a later date due to the coronavirus pandemic. This decision of the Independent League of Schools of Samba Rio de Janeiro (Liesa) with reference to its head Jorge Castaneira on September 24 reports the newspaper Globo. Follow the development of events in the broadcast: Coronavirus in the world: countries in search of a vaccine all the news. According to him, this is not a cancellation, but the transfer of the parade in search of a solution, since in February it is impossible to hold it. We expect information on when we will have the vaccine and when immunization will be carried out, the publication quotes Castaneiro, who emphasized that it is premature to talk about alternative dates for the carnival of 2021. The head of the association noted that since the traditional format of the parade requires more time to prepare, they are also considering other options for the holiday. There are forecasts according to which only starting in April there will be safe conditions for this, Castaneira said. Recall that earlier the governor of the state of Bahia Rui Costa also announced the possibility of canceling or postponing traditional New Year celebrations and carnival processions. According to the news agency, the official opening of the 2020 carnival season took place in Brazil on January 12. In the evening, about 300 thousand participants in the festive event gathered on Copacabana beach.
