Brazil exceeds 100,000 COVID-19 cases – over 7,000 deaths
The country with population over 210 million is currently ranked 9th in the world in terms of Cororavirus infected people, with 101,147 cases.
Brazil exceeded 100,000 cases of covid-19 on Sunday, with more than 7,000 deaths, although official figures are considered to be widely undervalued.
This country of 210 million inhabitants and continental dimensions is located in the ninth place in the world in terms of infected people, with 101,147 cases, according to the last official balance of the Ministry of Health.
However, it is the seventh in relation to the deceased, surpassing Germany, with 275 new deaths by covid-19 in the last 24 hours.
On Sunday night, a projection on the famous statue of Christ the Redeemer of the Corvocado will try to give the impression that the face of Jesus is covered by a mask, to encourage the population also to wear one.
The number of confirmed cases of covid-19 is considered by specialists to be 15 times lower than in reality, since only seriously ill patients undergo screening tests for the disease.
The situation is critical in several states, with hospitals already appearing overwhelmed, despite the fact that the peak of the pandemic is far from being reached in the largest country in Latin America.
Right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro has tried since the start of the pandemic to minimize its reach and has criticized the containment measures adopted by the governors of the vast majority of states.
