Brazil has passed the grim milestone of 180,000 deaths from Covid-19, as experts warned the country was undergoing a second wave of infections despite President Jair Bolsonaro's insistence the crisis was at the “tail end”.
According to AFP, the Brazilian health ministry reported 672 new deaths for a total of 180,437 since the pandemic began, making the South American country the second to pass that threshold, after the United States.
The curves for both infections and deaths in Brazil now show clear signs of an upward trend, after falling somewhat from late August to early November.
