Geneva, June 29 (RHC)-- Brazil still faces a "big challenge" in fighting the new coronavirus, said Mike Ryan, head of the WHO emergencies program. He urged federal and state authorities there to work together more closely.
"There is no question. Brazil is still facing a big challenge," he said, describing the situation in the Americas generally as "difficult."
With more than 1.3 million cases and 57,620 deaths, Brazil is the second-worst hit country in the world by the pandemic.
