Brazil’s Ministry of Health is reporting 421 deaths from coronavirus in the past 24 hours.
The total number of coronavirus deaths in Brazil now stands at 6,750.
The health ministry said there are 4,970 new cases of coronavirus, bringing the total number to 96,559.
Brazil has the most reported cases in Latin America.
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has downplayed the impact of the virus, likening it to “a little flu.”
Bolsonaro is also under pressure to show his Covid-19 test results. A federal judge from Sao Paulo had initially set a deadline of Saturday for the President to submit his results. However the 3rd Federal Regional Tribunal suspended the order that mandated the tests to be presented. An appeal was made on behalf of the Attorney General’s office to extend the deadline for five more days for the case to be reviewed
