RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - FEBRUARY 12: An aerial view at the Marques de Sapucai Sambadrome with a special lighting (the color blue is the color of the Portela samba school) in homage to the victims of Covid-19 on February 12, 2021 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. With the carnival in Rio de Janeiro canceled due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, the Sambadrome will not host the samba schools parades. The lighting is a tribute to the victims of Covid-19, especially those from the world of samba, and will be on during the period that the carnival in Rio de Janeiro would take place.
