Additional Information / Shotlist Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Brazil’s authorities have treated public health as a political game. We call on the Government to urgently organize a coordinated response to save lives.

Last week Brazilians accounted for one quarter of global COVID-19 deaths.

Our teams and doctors across Brazil report severe shortages of oxygen, medical supplies, and personal protective equiqpment.

Patients are dying at the doors of the Intensive Care Units – already overflowing with the critically ill.

Masks are shunned, physical distancing is ignored, and few restrictions are put into place to protect people.

Brazilian authorities must put science back into their COVID-19 response to prevent avoidable deaths and the destruction of the health system.

The death toll is growing.

Preventive measures and expanded COVID-19 testing are key; Doctors and nurses cannot be left to handle the pandemic alone.
