Doctors and scientists on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19 are warning that Brazil could suffer a third wave of the disease.

The delay in vaccination puts the country in a vulnerable position for the arrival of a third wave that could be even more deadly. Moreover, the arrival of new variables – such as those in India – and the easing of social isolation are aggravating this situation.

Due to the current scenario of the epidemic in the country, Brito said “we will see an increasing number of cases in June” and, accordingly, demanded strengthening of basic measures against Covid-19 for the population.
