The US remains the worst-hit country, with over a quarter of the confirmed cases, followed by the UK and Italy.

Brazil has the most infections and fatalities in Latin America. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Thursday issued a provisional decree that seeks to limit public-sector liability for things that go wrong in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
