‘Out of control’: Brazil’s COVID surge sparks regional fears

Countries across Latin America are rushing in restrictions as they battle to contain coronavirus outbreaks. The problems are being compounded by slow vaccine rollouts and weak health systems. For the past week across Brazil, there has been an average of 4,000 deaths a day, adding to a total of more than 350,000 - second only to the United States. Brazil's neighbours have sealed off their borders in a desperate attempt to prevent new variants from bleeding into the rest of the continent and harming vaccine efficacy.
