On Friday, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that South America is “a new epicenter” for the coronavirus pandemic, The Hill reported. Cases in South America have been on the rise over the past several weeks, especially in Brazil, where the number of coronavirus cases has skyrocketed. Brazil has the most cases of coronavirus in South America and the third most cases in the world, behind only the United States and Russia.
“We’ve seen many South American countries with increasing numbers of cases and clearly there’s a concern across many of those countries, but certainly the most affected is Brazil at this point,” executive director of the WHO’s emergencies program, Mike Ryan, stated during a press conference on Friday. “In a sense, South America has become a new epicenter for the disease.”
