Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro said he was happy that supporters have been staging anti-social distancing protests, on the same day as the country registered more than 90,000 new Covid-19 cases for the first time.
The infections record came one day after Brazil posted a separate record for deaths related to the virus, more than 2,800 in one day, Reuters reported.
“Logically, I was happy,” Bolsonaro said of the protests in remarks broadcast on social media. “They show that the people are alive ... we want our freedom, we want the world to respect our constitution.”
