São Paulo city cancels New Year’s Eve party

The mayor of São Paulo, Ricardo Nunes, informed this Thursday (2) that the traditional New Year’s Eve party held on Avenida Paulista will be cancelled. “What weighed a lot was the issue of the new Ômicron variant”, he said. The announcement was made at a press conference in New York.

The city of São Paulo also decided to continue the mandatory use of masks in an open environment. According to the mayor, a study carried out by the municipal Sanitary Surveillance analyzed the effects of the arrival of the new variant in the city and established that the current moment is one of caution.

The government of the state of São Paulo opted for the same decision regarding masks.

Regarding Carnival, the mayor said that there will be time for better decision-making.
