Brazil New Corona Infection Is Worst In The World Yet Economic Activity Resumes June 3, 12:44

In Brazil, South America, about 29,000 people were newly confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus on the 2nd, the death toll increased by more than 1,200, and each day was the highest in the country. Even in such a situation, economic activities in the largest city of São Paulo will be resumed gradually this month, and there is concern that further infection will spread.

In Brazil, the infection is rapidly expanding, especially in the poorly populated areas called
favela , and according to the government, as of the 2nd, the number of infected people increased by 28,936 to 555,383,
▽ The death toll has increased by 1262 to 31,199.

The number of new infections and deaths per day exceeded that of the United States, with Brazil having the highest number by country.

The situation is the most serious in São Paulo, but economic activities have resumed this month, including the approval of large-scale shopping centers in some areas, as the medical system is ready.

WHO = The World Health Organization has pointed out that Brazil has not reached the peak of infection, and there is concern that the infection will spread further in the future.

As Brazil's economic activity resumes, there is widespread confusion among the supporters of President Bolsonaro, who has strongly insisted on its resumption, and the citizens who oppose it.

Returnees from Italy started corona infection history in Brazil

The first infection in Brazil was announced on February 26.
He was a 61-year-old man who lived in São Paulo after returning from his business trip to Italy.

Later in early March, it was discovered that a senior Brazilian government official, who was present when US President Trump and Brazilian President Bolsonaro met, was infected with the new coronavirus.

The infection gradually spread, mainly to the middle class and above with a history of overseas travel, and the Brazilian government declared an emergency on March 20.

Although measures were taken to restrict entry from China, Japan, the EU = European Union, etc., at this point, the confirmed number of infected people was about 600.

President Bolsonaro said the new coronavirus was "a mild flu or a cold. The media was scared." He insisted that economic activity should continue as usual.

On the other hand, the governor of the state, which has large cities such as São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, strengthened the sense of crisis, overwhelmed the opposition of President Bolsonaro, and announced his own curfew on March 23. The school was closed and the restaurant was closed.

Then, as the curfew continues for more than two months, the infection spreads from the people in the middle and above to the people living in a poor area called "favela".

At the end of April, when the death toll exceeded 5,000 and surpassed China, the infection spread rapidly last month. On the 25th, the death toll per day exceeded 800, surpassing the United States and the highest number by country.

WHO = World Health Organization said on February 2 that Brazil has "not reached the peak of infection yet".

Under these circumstances, the state of São Paulo, which has the largest economy, has resumed some of its economic activities from the 1st of this month, saying that "a system for treating patients has been established".

However, the reality is that the provincial government has pushed down the country's painful complaints that it is not possible to live as it is because the leave is prolonged.

Brazil in the Southern Hemisphere is about to enter winter. Some people are worried that the spread of infection may become even more serious as the economic activity is resumed without elucidating the characteristics of the virus.
