Brazil hits 100,000 coronavirus cases in a day

Brasilia: Brazil registered a record 100,158 new coronavirus cases on Thursday within 24 hours, the Health Ministry said.
The record caseload along with 2777 more COVID-19 deaths comes after a day Brazil surpassed 300,000 fatalities from the pandemic, which is the world’s worst death toll after the United States.

Brazil’s outbreak has set weekly records due to a patchy vaccine rollout, a lack of national coordination and an infectious new variant.

Economy Minister Paulo Guedes suggested that the private sector could help speed up immunizations by buying supplies and donating them to the government.
