Brasilia, dated 9 August 2020, Sunday

The death toll from the corona virus has surpassed 1 million in Brazil. Brazil is second only to the United States in the number of deaths from corona. 1 lakh 477 people have died in Brazil so far. The death toll has risen to 7 lakh 22,000 worldwide.

In a country of 21 million people, the epidemic has killed more than 1,000 people every day since May and killed a total of 99,572 people as of Friday night. A total of 2,962,444 cases of the corona virus have been reported, the health ministry said.

Brazil is second only to the United States in cases of transition and death. Experts believe that due to the lack of adequate investigation, the actual number of cases and the actual number of deaths are not as high as in some other countries.

Corona virus-positive President Jared Bolsonaro himself has been skeptical of the impact of the disease and has continued to lift sanctions on the economy. They are constantly seen in crowds and sometimes even without masks. I am saddened by the death of Corona in the country, the figure has reached 100,000, but we will find a solution.

In the midst of this epidemic, General Eduardo Pazuelo of the Brazilian army is the acting health minister. Earlier, two health ministers resigned over ongoing differences with Bolsonaro over the drug hydroxychloroquine, a drug used to treat malaria, as well as social distance measures.

Bolsonaro, who considers Kovid-19 to be a common fever, said they could eliminate the infection with the use of the drug. In Brazil, shops and restaurants opened in more states after May 27. Rioma shopping malls and restaurants are already open and people are flocking to the beach.
