Brazil recorded this Wednesday (17/03) the highest number of daily cases of covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic. In just 24 hours, 90,303 infections were officially registered, according to data from the Ministry of Health. This is the first time that the country has broken the mark of 90,000 daily cases. In total, Brazil has officially registered 11,693,838 infections with the new coronavirus.
Also on Wednesday, 2,648 deaths related to covid-19 were recorded, bringing the total to 284,775.
Several health authorities and institutions warn, however, that the real numbers should be even higher, due to the lack of large-scale testing and underreporting. The country is experiencing a new moment of acceleration of the disease, with a record of collapse of the public health network in several states.
According to the Ministry of Health, 10,287,057 patients have already recovered.
