The Rio de Janeiro carnival which was set to hit the streets next February has been postponed for the first time in 108-years due to coronavirus.
The carnival attracts millions of visitors to Brazil each year.
But Brazil has been one of the countries worst hit by the pandemic with 4.5 million infections and more than 138,000 deaths.
Samba schools involved in the parade typically spend the entire year preparing for the event.
