Brazil's Health Ministry reported 449 related deaths in the prior 24 hours, bringing the death toll to 5,466 out of 78,162 confirmed cases. Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro, left, has seen his justice and health ministers depart this month. He fired his health minister two weeks ago and in some parts of the country citizens bang pots out of their windows in the evening in a symbolic protest. Bolsonaro also saw his justice minister resign last week. The Supreme Court authorized an investigation into allegations by Bolsonaro's former justice minister that the president had abused his power by swapping the police chief.
