“The acceleration of the cases has stabilized, but there is still a very high number of cases and too high of deaths”Ryan said at a video conference press conference.
In the last week 6,900 people died from the pandemic and 290,000 positives were diagnosed.
Total, 111,100 people died by Covid-19 in Brazil, where more than 3.45 million infections.
“We are in a difficult moment in Brazil where it seems that things are getting better “, declared the WHO leader, who expressed his “appreciation for health workers and communities in Brazil who are taking the necessary actions to stabilize the situation.”
Ryan acknowledged, however, that “the question now is: is this just a respite or can this downward trend be sustained?”
Latin America represents a ninth of the world’s population, but in this subcontinent 40% of Covid-19 cases were detected in the last two months.
