Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said hunger is more deadly than the novel coronavirus, as he vowed to immediately sign into law a measure giving cash aid for informal workers that the Senate approved yesterday.
The aid, of 600 reais ($115) per month, will be paid for three months and is intended to help informal workers make ends meet, while states and cities enforce lockdown measures.
The package could cost nearly 50 billion reais.
