Renowned beaches in Brazil open, government refuses to publicise total casualties

The coastal town of Brazil's most populated city began its first phase of pandemic exit last week, allowing citizens to taste the sun, walk in London, reopen some of the businesses, and practice individual water sports.

The Latin country currently numbers more than 700 thousand infected with the new coronary, the higher number than any other country in the world, after the United States.

Some citizens express distrust with official figures:

It's not time to remove the quarantine, with the curve growing and we don't know if it's going to drop. We have a government that disguises numbers. ”

I think it's absurd. All states show what's happening as Brazil seeks to hide things. This is a crime. ”

On Monday, the death toll from David-19 increased by nearly 700, bringing more than 37 thousand total casualties.

But the authenticity of these numbers sparked an internal political debate and a call from O at the weekend BSH for more transparency.

Because major differences were made with data collected from other regions.

Health authorities and the country's president, Jair Bolsonaro, announced they would no longer report the overall balance of deaths and infections, but only new daily cases.

The decision withdrew Monday after criticism both inside and abroad.

Brazil's “Government needs to understand what's going on, where the virus is, how they manage the risks. We should be consistent with sharing information with us, but what's most important, with the people, with their people,” Said WHO chief.

In Latin America, Brazil is considered the epidernavirus pandemic, followed by Peru with 200,000 cases, Chile, Ecuador, and Colombia, with some 400,000 cases of infection.
