Brazil sees 1,803 COVID-19 deaths in 24hrs

Brazil on Sunday recorded 1,803 new COVID-19 deaths in the last 24 hours, the country’s Health Ministry said Sunday.

Brazil, which has become the global epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in recent weeks, saw over 37,000 new cases in the same period.

With over 353,000 deaths, Latin America’s biggest country has the second-highest coronavirus death toll in the world, after the United States.

The outbreak has recently reached its most severe phase due to a lack of federal restrictions.
