Brazil has reported almost 4,200 new coronavirus-related deaths in a 24-hour period.
Official figures say that there have been 4,195 new deaths reported in a single day.
The country’s hospital system is close to breaking point as President Jair Bolsonaro has refused to impose any pandemic-related restrictions, which has enabled the virus to spread freely among the population.
Brazil’s Covid-19-related death toll now stands at 337,000, only just behind the United States, where the gross incompetence of the Trump Administration led to an apocalyptic death toll of over half a million people.
