Miss World 2021 finale has been temporarily postponed after several contestants tested positive for Covid. The finale was scheduled to take place on December 16 in Puerto Rico. However, the organisers had to postpone the event due to “health and safety interests of contestants, staff, crew and the general public.” The finale will be rescheduled at Jose Miguel Agrelot Coliseum of Puerto Rico within the next 90 days.

The decision was taken after 17 contestants and staff members tested positive for COVID-19. Among those infected is Manasa Varanasi, who was crowned Miss India World 2020, and will represent India at the international beauty pageant. “Keeping in mind the rising Covid cases amongst the contestants, the Miss World Organisation has taken the decision to postpone the Miss World finale,” said an official statement.
