2 minutes read
Rio de Janeiro, Mar 10 (efe-epa).- Brazil is going through its worst moment of the coronavirus pandemic so far with its health care system on the verge of collapse, vaccination going at a snail’s pace due to lack of vaccine and a new daily record of Covid-19 deaths set on Wednesday.
And that last dire statistic is threatening to keep increasing.
The South American giant on Tuesday reported 1,972 Covid-19 deaths, setting a new daily record, but on Wednesday it reported 2,286 deaths, with the trend showing no signs of leveling off.
