Formentera suspends Carnaval 2022 for public health reasons

The Consell de Formentera reports that this year Carnaval celebrations 26 February will be suspended due to the public health situation on the island, which entered tier 4 of alert Monday 31 January.

When a territory is at tier 3 or higher, controls must be placed on access to events outdoors and in open spaces, namely, in the case of popular festivities. For local celebrations of Carnaval, a social and festive occasion, such measures could not be guaranteed. Additional challenges were envisioned to enforcing safe physical distancing measures.
