| Abstract | Five months into the
COVID-19 epidemic, as of 19 August
2020, Brazil reported a total of 3,407,354
PCR-confirmed cases and 109,888 deaths
due to COVID-19, a case fatality rate (CFR)
of 3.2%.
These numbers likely reflect a
massive underestimate as individuals who
are asymptomatic, pauci-symptomatic
or pre-symptomatic are often not tested,
while contact tracing remains limited.
The rapid spread of COVID-19 in Brazil is
attributable to many factors, including urban
density, timing of the implementation and
maintenance of social distancing policies,
and limited testing capacity. Furthermore, as
of late June 2020, as a result of economic and
political pressures, many Brazilian states have
lifted restrictions on businesses and shared
spaces despite increasing numbers of cases. | pt_BR |
