In the absence of street blocks and samba school parades in Rio de Janeiro, parties, balls and private shows are included in the schedule for the days of carnival – February 26, 27 and 28 and March 1. There are several ads on social media. There are even lists with schedules for every day of revelry.
Among the events is the Encontro de Blocos de Rua RJ, which will feature the traditional Cordão da Bola Preta, Suvaco do Cristo, Empolga at 9, Shutdown of Justice, Toca Rauuul!, Céu na Terra, Vagalume o Verde, Multibloco, Bangalafumenga and Afroreggae . Blocks that, in past carnivals, were responsible for bringing together thousands of people.
The event, which costs from R$20 to R$150, will take place on the 26th and 27th in the parking lot of Feira de São Cristóvão, north of Rio. The organization said that the use of a mask and presentation of the vaccination card are mandatory. . ⠀
Samba schools also organize closed parties. Mangueira, for example, sells tickets for rehearsals at the samba school’s court on the 25th and 26th. Prices range from R$40 to R$1,200 – a cabin for ten people.
Parties that are already traditional, this year occur again and reduce the public because of the pandemic. This is the case of Bloco do Sai, Hetero. Before the pandemic, it gathered 30 thousand people. Now the audience has been limited to 15,000. The block can be seen in the vicinity of the Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro (MAM). Prices: from R$40 to R$80.
“We have the best possible expectations. Despite this complicated situation, the crowd is very excited to go out”, said the event’s producer, Eva Lorrany. She pointed out that the party will be in an open space and the presentation of the vaccination card will be mandatory.
street carnival canceled
In January, the city hall of Rio de Janeiro canceled the street blocks in the carnival of 2022. The decision was taken taking into account the epidemiological data, which pointed to a new increase in cases of covid-19 after a period of decline. Soon after the suspension of the blocks, the samba school parades have been postponed to April.
Even with the cancellation of the street carnival by the city hall of Rio, clandestine blocks gathered last weekend in the city center and were dispersed by the Municipal Secretary of Public Order (Seop).
In a statement, the city of Rio informed that events in which it is not possible to inspect the health passport are prohibited. People over 50 must show proof of the booster dose. The city hall also recalled that unvaccinated people cannot attend closed environments, nor enter hotels and shopping malls, for example.
Also according to the prefecture, the secretary of health will carry out inspection actions over the holidays and events in which the rules are being violated will be interrupted.
Carnival care
The Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz) stressed that care is still needed due to the pandemic. “Certainly this carnival will not be the same as it was, but the pandemic is not over and care and protection are still necessary”, said the coordinator of the Covid-19 Fiocruz Observatory, Carlos Machado.
He stated that, while moving towards optimal levels of vaccination coverage, physical distancing measures, the use of masks and hand hygiene must be maintained, “even in open environments where there may be greater concentration and agglomeration of people, which, although not is desirable, it may take place at Carnival. And that private parties or dances in party houses, clubs or other environments are only carried out with the requirement of proof of vaccination ”, he stressed.
According to the latest data from the Ministry of Health, released yesterday (21), in the last 24 hours105,776 cases of people infected with the new coronavirus were recorded and 816 deaths were reported due to complications associated with the disease.
