The figures released Monday by the Ministry of Health are the highest since monitoring of the disease began 24 years ago.
Since the beginning of the year, 11 of Brazil’s 27 states have declared a state of emergency: Minas Gerais, Acre, Goiás, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Espirito Santo, Paraná, Amapa, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. In cities such as Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia, Sao Paulo and Belo Horizonte, field hospitals and service tents have been set up in the streets and squares, but health workers are unable to cope with such a large number of requests.
