Rio’s Carnival − a five day festival of dancing, bared flesh and wild costumes − opened Friday in the face of warnings that the Zika virus might make even kissing dangerous.
Mayor Eduardo Paes handed a big golden key to the city to the Carnival’s ceremonial King Momo, who promised a spectacular show.
