Brazil has resumed preparations for the famous Rio de Janeiro carnival, which the organizers still hope to hold if the situation with COVID-19 does not interfere with the folklore festival again.
After a two-year wait, residents of Rio, Carioca, are preparing to celebrate carnival from February 25 to March 1, 2022.
The Brazilian authorities conditioned the celebration on the normalization of the sanitary and epidemiological situation, which has significantly improved due to the vaccination process of the population.
"If the conditions are met, the carnival will take place. Otherwise, no," said Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes. According to Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, if it depended only on him, "there would be no carnival."
More than 60% of Brazilians received two doses of the vaccine, which experts call an insufficient indicator given the new wave of coronavirus spread in Europe and the appearance of the omicron strain.
Meanwhile, Brazilian samba schools continue to work hard on sewing thousands of costumes and constructing monumental chariots for carnival participants.
