Brazil surpasses 16 million Covid cases, nearing 450,000 deaths 1 minute read
Sao Paulo, May 23 (EFE).- Brazil surpassed 16 million confirmed Covid-19 cases on Sunday and is nearing 450,000 deaths since the start of the pandemic a year and three months ago, the government reported Sunday.
According to the latest tally released by the Health Ministry, the South American giant registered 860 deaths and 35,819 newly confirmed coronavirus cases in the last 24 hours, although health authorities have reiterated that such figures are usually lower on the weekends and on Mondays due to the lack of personnel working to handle the inflow of data.
With figures for the past 24 hours in hand, however, this brings the confirmed death toll to 449,068 and the number of cases to 16,083,258, figures that put Brazil in the top echelon of countries hardest hit by the health crisis.
