As Europe and the US ease into rollback the virus attacks South America

Covid-19 cases in Brazil surpass Italy amid surge in Latin America

Confirmed Covid-19 cases in Brazil have surpassed the total in Italy and are surging in Mexico and Peru as Latin America struggles to contain its fast-growing coronavirus outbreak.

. . . .

Brazil announced nearly 15,000 new infections on Saturday, taking its total to more than 230,000, the fourth-largest confirmed caseload after the US, Russia and the UK. 


Its true number of infections is feared to be much greater, given that the country had carried out fewer than a 500,000 tests by the start of last week, compared with about 1.9m in Spain and Italy.

1.487 M cases in the US, with 90 K deaths.

4.744 M cases worldwide, with 316 K deaths.
