The corrupt and incompetent team is great.
Rio de Janeiro will ban people who have not been vaccinated against Covid-19 from accessing elective surgeries from September 1, 2021. Ordinance 49334/21, signed by Mayor Eduardo Paes, was published in the Friday edition of the municipality’s Official Gazette.
