REUTERS/Amanda Perobelli/File PhotoGENEVA/BRASILIA: Brazil's COVID-19 death toll is on track to overtake Britain on Friday to become the second highest in the world with over 40,000 dead, but the World Health Organization said the nation's health system was standing up to the pressure.
"The data we have at the moment supports a system under pressure but a system still coping with the number of severe cases," Ryan said at a briefing in Geneva. The right-wing leader has minimised the gravity of the novel coronavirus, dismissing it"a little flu," and has accused state governments of exaggerating the number of infections and deaths to undermine him.On Thursday night, Bolsonaro encouraged his supporters to"find a way to get inside" hospitals to film whether the ICU beds are occupied or not, to provide images that the police and Brazil's intelligence agency could investigate.
Inside stores in Sao Paulo and Rio, distancing rules were followed and shoppers were required to wear protective masks. Temperatures were taken before people entered some malls.
