Annabelle Alonzo | Jun 23 2020, 06:06AM EDT
Throngs of Brazilians swarmed the beaches of Rio de Janeiro over the weekend. This shocked the World Health Organization who warned of a consequential surge in its already bloated number of coronavirus cases and deaths.
According to a report, Brazil has reached a total of 1,111,348 confirmed coronavirus cases and 51,407 deaths over the weekend with a significant number of unrecorded cases being predicted by the WHO.
Its health ministry has reported that 21,432 more people have tested positive for the virus and that it had lost 654 Brazilian lives from the pandemic.
