According to data released by Brazil’s health ministry on Saturday, there have been 4,688 coronavirus-related deaths in the country’s most populous state, which is home to more than 40 million people.

The worldwide death toll from the novel coronavirus passed 250,000 on Friday – increasing by over 100,000 deaths since April 17 – according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

US President Donald Trump on Sunday said limiting the US death toll to 100,000 would constitute a “good job” and that his administration has lowered the number of potential deaths from earlier estimates of more than two million.
