Brazil's Bolsonaro Coughs into Crowd at Anti-Quarantine Rally
-------------------------------------------------------------

In Latin America, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro continues to flout
widespread guidelines for limiting the spread of the coronavirus,
appearing at a packed anti-quarantine rally in Brasília. Bolsonaro can
be seen repeatedly coughing into a crowd of protesters as he addressed
the rally, where some were calling for a return to military rule. Brazil
has over 38,000 confirmed coronavirus cases and over 2,400 deaths.

Meanwhile, Peru reported over 15,000 cases of coronavirus on Sunday, the
second-highest count in Latin America after Brazil.
