The daily figures reported by the Ministry rose again after two days at below-average levels, as they usually retreat on Sundays and Mondays due to the damming up of tests on weekends.

The day before, the country had recorded fewer than 1,000 deaths in a single day for the first time in almost two months.

Brazil has the second-highest number of Covid-19 deaths globally, below only the United States, and the third-highest count of confirmed coronavirus cases, behind the US and India.
