Posts: 616Wearing a mask on planes and airports is no longer mandatory in Brazil
The use of masks will no longer be mandatory on planes and airports in Brazil, determined by Anvisa (National Health Surveillance Agency) this Wednesday (17). The use of the mask will become only a recommendation.
The measure takes effect from the moment it is published in the Official Gazette, which should happen in the coming days. https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/cotidi...ampaign=comptw.

Oh, but I guess all of Nounce's tutes are accepting payment by contactless credit cards now hahahahaha!

That's a valid point, if you are scared of getting robbed you might want to avoid cash. However, I don't agree that there is a lower risk of getting mugged if you use credit card. The guys that will mug you on the street don't know if you carry cash or not. If they find no cash they might hurt you until you give them your pin code.
I don't worry about being robbed as I use common sense and have a good luck charm. I always divide my cash in two places, large bills hidden inside my shorts / trousers and about 50 reais in small bills in a miniwallet. If I would get robbed I rather loose 50 reais than loosing my credit card.

Posts: 112Sometimes cash doesn't cut it
If you take a stroll around down rua augusta in SP, it is impossible not to to notice that many botecas, lanchonettes and other tiny food spots in consolacao do NOT take cash and only accept debit and credit cards. Indeed it can be kind of a hassle if you prefer to use cash. From my understanding, No cash on hand directly equates to a lower chance of being robbed. I guess it makes sense.
