Brazil: Protesters cause traffic disruptions in Salvador on July 12
Protesters cause traffic disruptions in Salvador, Brazil, July 12. Delays likely near Deputado Luis Eduardo Magalhaes International Airport.
Protesters are disrupting traffic along Avenida Luis Viana Filho, also known as Avenida Paralela, near Imbui in Salvador on July 12 to denounce alleged issues with using health insurance. The demonstration will likely cause traffic delays for commuters traveling to and from Deputado Luis Eduardo Magalhaes International Airport (SSA).
Heightened security is likely in the vicinity of the protest. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, especially if demonstrators ignore authorities' orders to disperse.
Plan on delays traveling to SSA. Contact your airline for information on rescheduling if affected. Avoid protests as a precaution. If clashes occur, immediately seek shelter in a secure, non-government building. Comply with directives given by authorities.
