Experts have said it may be a "antibody-mediated or delayed response" to the coronavirus that occurs several weeks after infection.

Paraguay will continue to wait for the wave of contagion in Brazil to diminish to reopen its border despite strong pressure from merchants who claim millions of dollars in losses, a health authority announced on Friday.
