Brazil Now Second In COVID-19 Deaths As WHO Warns ‘Fight Is Not Over’
Workers carry a bag with the body of a COVID-19 victim out of a refrigerated container before its cremation at the El Angel crematorium, in Lima on May 21, 2020 – Peru has become the second Latin American country after Brazil to reach 100,000 coronavirus cases, according to health ministry figures out Wednesday.
“Some areas are at a critical stage” in Brazil, with intensive care unit occupancy levels of more than 90 percent, World Health Organization emergencies director Mike Ryan told journalists in Geneva. The region has recorded more than 1.5 million infections and 76,000 deaths, with no signs the virus is slowing.
Nevertheless, US President Donald Trump and many local officials remain determined to get the world’s biggest economy back on track. In evidence of the continued threat, eleven residential estates in the southern part of the Chinese capital were locked down due to a fresh cluster of coronavirus cases linked to a nearby meat market, officials said Saturday.
