Despite the Zika Virus in Brazil, it didn't stop Rio's five-day Carnival Ceremony of dancing, bared flesh and with wild costumes.
The floats kept on coming at the carnival which went ahead despite the current Zika virus scare which is gripping Brazil
Mayor Eduardo Paes handed a big golden key to the carnival's ceremonial King Momo, who promised a spectacular show.
'With
great happiness, brotherly love and peace, I declare the best carnival
on Earth open - our carnival in the marvelous city,' the dancing king,
who is elected ahead of the festivities, said on Friday.
The
annual mega-bash famed for lavish and skimpily dressed samba parades
and all-night street dancing is expected to attract as many as five
million people.
Scientists identified the Zika virus in the saliva and urine of two infected patients, a top Brazilian biomedical research institution said on Friday, prompting its president to urge pregnant women not to kiss strangers just as local Carnival celebrations begin.
