Indigenous neighborhoods are among the hardest hit by the outbreak in Brazil.

Brazil has actually ended up being the second country, after the US, to sign up more than 50,000 deaths from Covid-19

It comes amidst growing political discontent and days after the country confirmed more than one million coronavirus infections.

Experts caution that the peak of the outbreak in Brazil is still weeks away.

The World Health Company (WHO) has taped the greatest one-day increase in cases, with the Americas responsible for the majority of the new infections.

Of the 183,000 new cases reported in 24 hours, more than 60%were from North and South America, the firm stated.

Nevertheless, the growing break out did not stop countless fans and opponents of Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro from taking to the streets in rival demonstrations on Sunday.

Anti-government demonstrators are calling for Mr Bolsonaro to be impeached. It follows the arrest on Thursday of a former assistant and family buddy who is implicated of corruption.

His supporters state Congress and the Supreme Court are trying to curb his powers.
