Brazil on Thursday passed 400,000 COVID-19 deaths, only the second country to do so after the US.
On Thursday Brazil registered 3,001 new COVID-19 deaths, taking its total since the pandemic began to 401,186 fatalities, agencies reported.
Video filmed on April 29 shows the empty streets of Sao Paulo, memorials to COVID-19 victims, a Sao Paulo crematorium and interviews in Portuguese with locals.
Experts blame the death toll on the failure of national and local governments to launch an adequate response to the pandemic.
Activists from the Rio de Paz (Rio for Peace) non-governmental organization marked the milestone of 400,000 confirmed deaths in Brazil by acting out a symbolic burial on Copacabana beach on Friday.
