Hyderabad: The coronavirus pandemic has infected more than 62,62,422 and killed over 3,73,848 people across the world. More than 28,46,477 people have recovered so far.
In the past 24 hours, Brazil registered 16,409 new cases taking the total number of confirmed cases in the country to 5,14,849.
The US has sent to Brazil more than 2 million doses of a malaria drug touted by President Donald Trump as potentially protecting against and treating the coronavirus, even though scientific evidence has not backed up those uses.
Brazil, now Latin America’s hardest-hit country, continues to see a surge in virus cases, and last week Trump announced that the US was restricting travel from the country to prevent travellers from spreading the virus in the US.
The new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms for most people. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness or death.
