Brazil is one of the few large countries in the world where coronavirus cases — and death rates — are still rising.

It is Latin America's hardest-hit country, with confirmed cases climbing by the thousands each day.

Only the United States has more confirmed cases than Brazil, which has passed 2 million. More than 75,000 people have died.

After months of downplaying the virus, deriding it as just a "little flu," President Jair Bolsonaro tested positive for Covid-19, he announced on July 7.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is seen wearing a face mask in front of his official residence in Brasilia on Wednesday, July 15. Bolsonaro tested positive for Covid-19 again, a week after an initial test indicated he had been infected with the virus.

Bolsonaro had previously appeared in public and at rallies without a face mask, even hugging supporters. "I have to admit, I thought I had gotten it earlier, considering my very dynamic activity in the face of the people," he said. "And I can tell you more, I am the President and I am on the front line, I don't run away from my responsibility nor do I shy away from the people."
