The virus also strikes Miss World 2021. The final of the beauty pageant, scheduled for yesterday in Puerto Rico, was postponed after 23 of the 97 competitors tested positive at Covid, reports CNN.
The girls are joined by the positivity of 15 members of the technical staff. The decision to postpone the final was made by the organizers of the contest, not by the authorities of Puerto Rico, as the epidemiologist Meilla Marzan pointed out when announcing the 38 positive cases connected to Miss World.
"We are rescheduling the final, we have decided to postpone it for the health and safety of the competitors, staff and the general public," explained the organizers.
The final, they added, will be held "within the next 90 days".
