April 5 a Public Holiday in Many States and Municipalities Throughout Brazil

Multiple sources throughtout the country (Paraiba, Campo Grande, Rio and many others). Although Maundy Thursday, April 5, the day before Good Friday, is not an official national public holiday in Brazil, over the last 2 weeks, many states, regions and municipalities have declared it to be a public holiday locally. Analysis: We would therefore recommend that anyone planning a business trip to Brazil, consider that day as a day when business life might be severely affected.
