Many of Brazil’s hospitals face severe overcrowding as another version, or variant, of the new coronavirus spreads in the country. Over the past week, Brazilian governors have tried to persuade President Jair Bolsonaro to offer a plan for states to slow the nation’s COVID-19 outbreak. The plan was to include a curfew, a ban on crowded events and limits on non-necessary services. Bolsonaro has rejected such plans. The result of the effort, presented Wednesday, was a one-page document urging support for restricting activity, but not providing specific measures.
