home countryside understandably egger to open up their societies and economies but the virus is still spreading fast it is still deadly and most people are still susceptible it. we on all countries. to exercise extreme vigilance the w.h.o. drew particular attention to brazil which has now passed 1000000 infections the highest number of cases outside a few of the us another 1206 people have died there in the past 24 hours that's according to the health ministry and scientists in italy have found traces of the corona virus in wastewater collected from milan and turin in december suggesting it was being spread through northern italy even before china reported its 1st cases it's getting updates on the situation in the americas and bring in our line america editor of the cia newman with more than 54000 cases reported in just the past 24

hours over in brazil what's the latest response from the government. where we just heard now from the w.h.o. that they're calling for it for heightened vigilance we're not hearing anything of the kind from the government of brazil even as it's been confirmed that they now have more than 1000000 cases and that's the kind of benchmark that nobody really wants to reach but nevertheless president continues to insist that they have to open up to me that that loss of jobs is more dangerous than the pandemic itself now he's gone so far as to ask for the football clubs to get back to work and start playing you know that brazil is a very is a huge huge fan of football that seems to be king in that country and so on thursday night that means most popular football club played at that magic that stadium with an empty stadium there was nobody inside but outside there were

a lot of protesters saying that it's much too soon to try to bring people out and to to play football when there are brazilians dying in fact a propos of that right next door to them out of there is an emergency tent hospital and as that game was being played we understand that at least 2 people died from coronavirus. very sad indeed lucy and what's the situation like in chile where you are and to what extent are people of hearing to the locked down in place. well the situation in chile is extremely serious this country now has the highest infection rate per 1000000 inhabitants in the world which is a lot to say it's a country will need to have less than $20000000.00 people but a very high and controllable infection rate despite the fact they have that there have been partial or total quarantines now for months and the government in part at least blames people for being responsible for violating the quarantine but that they decided to stick show that it's actually not so much people who are going out

without permission but rather the fact that the government had been too lax by giving too many permits of people to go out and shop go to the supermarket etc that's been reduced now to only 2 permits for day for a week rather and also the threat of a 5 year prison sentence for anybody who violates the law or or the or other restrictions that have been placed now but we'll have to see if that works considering that a lot of companies continue to bring out their workers every single day that's why you see some cars out here to go to work there supposed to be only essential services working but it's a lot more than that and that's going to have to be restricted to if this could trade today is to be reduced dramatically to be the case. you see it in the reporting from santiago thank you very much. millions of people across the united states are commemorating what's known as juneteenth the anniversary of the announcement of the end of slavery large rallies are taking place in washington new
