COVID-19 Was In Brazil Weeks Before It Was Detected – Study
View of a crowded street in Florianopolis, Santa Catarina state, Brazil, on May 12, 2020 amid the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. EDUARDO VALENTE / AFPThe new coronavirus was circulating in Brazil in early February, weeks earlier than initially detected, and just before millions of people were partying in the streets for carnival, according to a new study.
The study used statistical analysis to work backwards from the number of reported COVID-19 deaths and establish the probable time-frame of the virus’ early spread in Brazil and other countries, said the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation , the country’s leading public health institute. That means the local outbreak was already well under way when Brazil celebrated carnival from February 21 to 25, an event that draws millions of tourists and brings throngs of revelers into the streets in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Salvador and other cities.
