More than 90,000 cases and 3,693 deaths in 24 hours in Brazil

The Brazilian Ministry of Health announced yesterday that in the previous 24 hours 3,693 patients with Covid-19 died, while 93,317 cases of SARS-CoV-2 were confirmed.

The Latin American pandemic’s pandemic death toll so far stands at 348,718 deaths out of a total of at least 13,373,174 infections, according to official figures, which many scientists consider underestimated.

The country of 212 million people has the second heaviest death toll and the second highest number of infections on the planet, behind only the United States.

Experts have warned that a million times worse is threatened in April than in March, the month in which more than 66,000 lives were lost due to Covid-19. That was twice as many as in July 2020, the worst month since the pandemic hit the country.

China: Fourteen cases in the past 24 hours

China’s national health commission announced today that as of midnight yesterday Friday, 14 new cases of SARS-CoV-2 had been confirmed in mainland China, up from 21 the previous day.

According to the commission, all the new cases were “imported”, according to the term used by Beijing when referring to coronavirus cases detected at checks at the country’s gates.

The number of asymptomatic carriers found in China yesterday fell to 11, from 12 the previous day. Beijing does not include asymptomatic carriers in its confirmed cases.

Officially, the pandemic count in the country where the new coronavirus appeared in December 2019 amounts to 4,635 deaths out of a total of 90,400 infections.
