Brazil has reported 935 new Covid-19 deaths and some 150,106 additional cases, according to data released by the nation's Health Ministry, an unusually large number due to what officials said was an adjustment in how case numbers are tabulated.
Some 92,614 cases occurred in Rio de Janeiro in recent months, but were only entered into the official count in the last 24 hours, the Health Ministry said.
Rio's state-level health ministry attributed the number of cases registered to new demands from the federal Health Ministry regarding case counting, the details of which were not revealed.
