Governor João Doria (PSDB) decreed an optional point in public offices in the State of São Paulo between February 28 and March 2 on account of Carnival. The decree goes into effect on Monday, the 28th, and extends until 12 pm on Ash Wednesday, March 2nd.
The document is in the Official Gazette of the State of this Wednesday, 2. The exception applies to state public offices that provide essential services of public interest, which have uninterrupted operation, such as health, security and transport services. On Ash Wednesday, work resumes in the other offices at 12:00.

Last year, the optional point between the days of Carnival was canceled to try to contain the advance of covid-19. At the time, six regions of the state were in the red phase of the pandemic (the most serious) and another 11 in the orange phase.
Despite Ômicron’s progress this year, the situation in São Paulo and the rest of Brazil is considered milder than in the same period last year. Experts attribute this to mass vaccination and the characteristics of the Ômicron variant, which causes a less severe clinical picture. However, the current scenario of an explosion of cases and an increase in the demand for care in hospitals is not considered safe for the realization of Carnival.
On January 7, Doria stated that he will not authorize closed Carnival parties in the state and said that the decision on carrying out street carnival was the autonomy of the city halls. Most have already announced that they will not hold public parties. “With regard to gatherings in closed places for carnival, the government of the state of São Paulo will not authorize, in any municipality we will be able to have ballroom parties, or in closed areas and not street demonstrations, street carnival”, said the governor.
