Sad new record in
Brazil
: The authorities of the South American country registered more than 2,200 deaths related to the coronavirus within 24 hours.
As the Ministry of Health in Brasília announced on Wednesday, 2286 people have died as a result of Covid-19 since Tuesday.
The number of corona-related deaths in the country rose to 270,656.
More corona deaths have only been counted in the USA since the beginning of the pandemic.

Since the pandemic began, more than eleven million of the 212 million inhabitants of Brazil have been proven to be infected with the corona virus.
Experts assume that the sharp increase in the number of infections and deaths is due to new virus variants that are more contagious than the original form of the Covid-19 pathogen.
In Brazil, the pandemic had "arrived at its worst moment," said the scientist Margareth Dalcolmo from the Fiocruz research center of the AFP news agency.
"2021 will still be a very tough year."
Brazil's right-wing leader Jair Bolsonaro rejects restrictions on public life due to the corona pandemic and masks.
