complicated in the north and states in the poor states of brazil's north the amazon state already declared the call itself the health system and other states in the north as well are almost collapsing and i'm just so we are looking now to read an arrow and saw the power of the biggest cities in brazil their doctors claim that. there is trace in the conditions in the hospitals are not good for them to work the number day number of death is about about 800 and we are waiting to see in the next days if this number would grow or not. ok we hear also that there are reports of indigenous people being especially in danger why is that. an expert say that these indigenous that they are more were of a because he had their immune system is different to that that of the rest of the brazilians there they should have less antibodies experts say we have to wait and

could completely revolutionize the way that we are tackling this disease as part of this controlled experiment the dog sniffs out fabric samples worn by coronavirus patients and from people who are not carrying it. what we have to do 1st of all is collect samples of the songs from people with them without even knowing team so the way we're going to do that is clicked in using face most people where you face most for a few rounds and the other thing we're going to do is get people to where no i don't so the bit strange but we know from previous experience this is a really good way clytie this from people. in the us a group in philadelphia is carrying out similar trials the researches say they need to see strong scientific evidence that this method does work before the virus sniffing dogs can be on the east in airports and stations.
