Although Rio de Janeiro has seen an increase in ICU the occupation rate in recent weeks, Mayor Marcelo Crivella (Republicans) decided to allow weddings, graduations, concert halls, live music performances, circuses, and other events starting this Thursday ( 1st).

The percentage of ICU beds occupied reached 86% 12 days ago in the city's public network, and today it is 79% (including the municipal, state, and federal networks). Considering only the municipal system, which makes the majority of calls, there were only 29 intensive vacancies this morning.
