Brazil
Brazil's first case of COVID-19 was report on 25 February 2020. Throughout March, the federal government closed the country's borders, and state state governments imposed varying levels of physical distancing measures and stay-at-home directions, causing disagreement between state governors and the president who favours continuing economic activity. By 3 May, Brazil had over 100,000 cases, double the number of cases ten days earlier, and more than 7,000 reported deaths.
