From the SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, December 5, 2021

Rio de Janeiro on Saturday canceled its New Year's Eve party due to renewed COVID-19 fears.  Rio mayor Eduardo Paes had previously promised the biggest New Year's Eve party ever, with multiple fireworks displays and artists performing on a dozen stages across the city.  He said no decision has been made about Carnival taking place in March.

The yearly celebration on Copacabana beach has in the past gathered more than 1 million locals and tourists.

Other Brazilian cities, including Sao Paulo and Salvador, have also canceled New Year's Eve celebrations due to fears of the omicron variant.  So far, the Ministry of health has confirmed five omicron cases in Brazil.
