The All Souls' Day holiday, which will take place on Monday, the 2nd, along with the optional Public Servant Day holiday moved to Friday, the 30th, will result in changes to the operation of public services and commerce in several locations across Brazil.

In Recife, many public services and businesses will have altered hours, with a religious schedule that includes masses, according to the city hall. In Juiz de Fora, however, there are no significant changes expected, as businesses are permitted to open on the 30th, while many stores will remain closed on Monday.

In Sorocaba, essential services such as healthcare will continue to function normally despite the changes due to the extended holiday. Administrative and outpatient services in the health sector will be suspended on Friday and Monday.

In Natal, stores in the North Zone and Alecrim can open optionally, while those in the city center will be closed on Monday. Shopping malls will follow their specific schedules, which may include reduced hours.

Maceió will also see changes in public services and commerce. Public transport, as well as health services, will have adjusted operating hours. Affected services will resume normal operations on Tuesday, the 3rd.

In Teresina, commerce will be impacted due to the holiday. An assessment of operating hours was conducted to provide information about stores, shopping malls, and supermarkets during this period. Services in Limeira, Piracicaba, and Santa Bárbara d'Oeste will only resume normal administrative hours on Tuesday.
