People in Brazil have actually expressed anger at President Jair Bolsonaro’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic by banging pots and pans together on balconies.

Countless protesters in the cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro appeared at windows on Wednesday evening requiring the president to step down.

It was the most significant demonstration against Mr Bolsonaro’s government to date.

There are over 500 cases of the infection in Brazil, including 2 government ministers. Four people have actually passed away.

Mr Bolsonaro, who has actually previously dismissed precautions taken against the novel coronavirus as “hysteria” and “fantasy”, has actually been criticised for his response to the lethal outbreak.

The president has been checked for the infection two times, but said on both occasions the results were negative.
