BRASILIA (Reuters) – New COVID-19 cases continue to decline in North America, but in Latin America infections are still rising, particularly in Brazil where a resurgence has caused record daily deaths, the the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) warned on Wednesday.
“We are concerned about the situation in Brazil. It provides a sober reminder of the threat of resurgence,” PAHO director Carissa Etienne said in a briefing. She said cases are on the rise in nearly every Brazilian state.
