Brazil s Congress has launched an inquiry into the government s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
The country has recorded more than 14 million cases and 391,000 deaths since the pandemic began.
The inquiry could potentially lead to the impeachment of President Jair Bolsonaro who has frequently spoken out against lockdowns, masks and vaccinations.
Mr Bolsonaro says he is not worried by the inquiry.
The president has faced widespread criticism over his handling of the outbreak and his support has plummeted.
