Live, from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom with robyn curnow. Welcome back to cnn. I am robyn curnow, live, from atlanta. So, Health Inspectors in rio are slapping fines on dozens of businesses for violating coronavirus mitigation measures. But half of those fined are restaurants and bars. As you can see here, the site of patrons crowded together, without masks, has provoked a widespread outcry. Bars and restaurants are allowed to operate, at 50 capacity, since they reopened on thursday. Tables must be at least two meters apart. And this comes as brazil surpasses a million and a half coronavirus cases, nationwide. Meanwhile, mexico is now reporting more covid19 cases than italy, which of course was one of the hardesthit countries early on. Now, Health Officials said it could be weeks until cases start to peak in mexico. But thats not stopping many businesses in the capital from reopening. At matt rivers now explains. Matt. Well, for months, people here in mexico watched as this pandem
So the raging coronavirus pandemic in the United States did not dissuade President Donald Trump from holding exactly the kind of crowded event the Health Experts have been warning against. As americans all across the country are being urged to wear masks and avoid crowds, this july 4th holiday, well, take a look at what you see there. Thousands of people sat shoulder to shoulder, for hours, to hear the president speak at mt. Rushmore. Face coverings, as you can see for yourself, were scarce.

Confirmed more than 150,000 covid19 cases in just the past three days. Yet, the president barely mentioned the pandemic. Instead, he railed against what he views as a vast and insidious plot to destroy america. In our schools, our newsrooms, even our Corporate Board rooms, there is a new far left fascism that demands absolute allegiance. If you do not speak its language, performance rituals, recite its mantras and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted and punished. Its not going to happen to us. President trump also said he will sign an executive order to establish quote a new monument to the giants of our past. We get more on this from cnns joe johns at Mount Rushmore. Reporter this visit
