Experts say insufficient testing might mean that the true figure in Brazil could be far greater
Brazil has become the sixth country in the world to report more than 20,000 deaths from the coronavirus amid warnings the outbreak has not yet reached its peak.
More than 310,000 infections have been confirmed, the third-highest number worldwide after the US and Russia.
Experts say insufficient testing might mean that the true figure in Brazil could be far greater.
President Jair Bolsonaro has repeatedly dismissed the risks posed by the virus.
On Thursday, the country’s far-right leader continued his calls to ease lockdown measures imposed by state governors and mayors to revive a flagging economy.
His attitude towards public health expert advice on Covid-19 has led two health ministers to resign from their posts in the past month. (BBC)
