Members of a “bate-bol” or ball hitters group - men who dress up in exuberant, identical, hand-made costumes known as “fantasia” – run past in a brief appearance during a Carnival tradition despite restrictions due to the new coronavirus pandemic, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Saturday, February 13, 2021. Rio's city government officially suspended Carnival and warns it will have no tolerance for those who try to celebrate with open street parades or clandestine parties. (Photo by Bruna Prado/AP Photo)
