Brazil Rapid increase in deaths due to new type of corona Infection spread mainly in poor areas May 23, 10:35
In Brazil in South America, the new coronavirus kills more than 1,000 people a day, and the infection is spreading rapidly, especially in poor areas, and burial cannot be caught up in São Paulo, the largest city.
In Brazil, there are many districts called “favela” where poor people live in urban areas and other public land illegally, and the poor sanitation environment causes them to live densely in small houses. Infection of new coronavirus is spreading rapidly mainly in the area.
As of the 22nd, the number of infected people reached 330,000, more than 1,000 died a day, and more than 20,000 died.
In the municipal cemetery on the outskirts of São Paulo, graves for 8,000 people were prepared last month to bury the rapidly increasing number of dead people, but about 200 bodies were brought in every day, and about 80% of them are already there. The situation is full.
If the number of bodies carried at this rate continues to grow, this graveyard will not be able to be buried at the beginning of next month.
Also, because there are too many bodies and the burial work can not catch up, in Sao Paulo City, about 20 people are temporarily hired and the work is extended for the work.
It is said that at least 13 million people live in the "Favela" area, and in the southern hemisphere of Brazil, how to stop the infection here is a major issue as winter approaches.
