The Health Minister of Brazil, Nelson Teich, said they are not planning to publicize the total number of coronavirus-infected people anymore. The only information available on the site will be the data of the last 24 hours, writes BBC.
Brazil has deleted the coronavirus-related data from the official site. According to the Health Ministry, the data will no longer be available, similar to other countries.
President Jair Bolsonaro says that the figures placed on the web site do not reflect reality.
He decided to delete the data on the background of increasing protests from the public. The uncontrolled spread of coronavirus is the result of government policy and delayed reaction.
Brazil is in second place according to the number of coronavirus-infected people. The last statistical data read that the total number of infected people in Brazil was 676,494, and the number of fatalities was 36,044.
