brazil now has the 2nd highest covered 19 death toll in the world and then enviable position with both the daily fatalities and new infections mounting. the world health organization says the country is certainly under pressure but not yet overwhelmed. the situation in brazil is of concern the 27 areas are affected we've seen different rates were fiction there were clear hotspots and heavily populated areas there are clearly different impacts in different populations we've seen the impact the numbers on us books. overall the health system is still coughing in brazil the pandemic is far from slowing in the country and the death toll is thought to be much higher than reported but brazil has started loosening restrictions on reopening the economy in the originator in sao paolo the streets were busy on friday as shopping malls were allowed to welcome customers again. the loosening of restrictions was championed by far right
