Brasilia, March 25 (RHC)-- Brazil's National Council of Health Secretaries (CONASS) reports that over the past 24 hours, 1,999 deaths from COVID-19 were reported -- bringing the country's total number of deaths from the virus to 300,675, which is considered yet another record.

According to health authorities of the South American giant, the state of Sao Paulo remains the epicenter of the virus in the nation with 2 million 332,043 cases, followed by Minas Gerais and Paraná State, which report 1 million 040,198 and 807,157 infections, respectively.

The picture is so dramatic that CONASS itself counts 100,000 deaths due to coronavirus in just two and a half months.  The virus denier, Jair Bolsonaro, has barely convened a committee to deal with the virus, in a country that has become a global threat.

The fourth Minister of Health in the middle of the pandemic, Marcelo Queiroga, affirmed that the union between the powers will result in the strengthening of the local Unified Health System (SUS), "at the three levels, to provide the Brazilian population with agility with a vaccination campaign that can achieve vaccination coverage capable of reducing the circulation of the virus."

Regarding the vaccination process, since last year, Bolsonaro despised the CoronaVac vaccine for being Chinese and assumed by one of his main political rivals, the governor of São Paulo, João Doria, and postponed the purchase of immunizations from Pfizer and Janssen for not agreeing with the purchase conditions, for example.
