The Health Secretary of the State of São Paulo, Jean Gorinchteyn, said on Thursday (25) that it is favorable to cancellation New Year’s Eve and Carnival in 2022, due to health risks.
The executive coordinator of the Scientific Committee of the state, João Gabbardo, said that it’s still early to make the decision about holding the event.
At least 71 cities in the state have already canceled the Carnival. The reason is the fear of a possible increase in Covid-19 cases.
The city of São Paulo has not yet given a forecast of when it will take a decision on the event. However, the municipal Health Secretary of the municipality, Edson Aparecido, said in an interview with CNN that the decision will be up to the health surveillance.
