Brasilia, June 16 (RHC)-- Brazil has opened the Copa América soccer tournament despite one of the world’s worst COVID outbreaks.  Brazil’s Health Ministry has identified more than 40 COVID cases connected with Copa América, including 31 players or staffers.  

As the tournament kicked off in Brasília, Indigenous people marched in protest.  Kretã Kaingang, one of the organizers, told reporters: “We see the Copa América as an affront to the 500,000 deaths due to the misgovernance of this fascist government, which denied the vaccine to the Brazilian population, denied the vaccine to us Indigenous peoples.”
