Brazilian Supreme Court Orders Government to Release Updated Coronavirus Data
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Brazil, a Supreme Court judge on Tuesday ordered the government of
far-right President Jair Bolsonaro to immediately begin releasing
updated coronavirus statistics - just days after the country stopped
publishing new reported COVID-19 deaths and infections. Brazil currently
has the world's second-highest rate of coronavirus cases, nearing
740,000, and has more daily deaths than any other country in the world.
Officially, over 38,000 people in Brazil have died of COVID-19, though
that number is likely a significant undercount.
