The risk of death in young and middle-aged adults in Brazil after contracting COVID-19 is on the rise, researchers have found.
The researchers noted that Brazil is currently suffering a “deadly surge” of COVID-19 infections, which has been attributed to the spread of a new strain known as P.1 (B.1.1.28.1).
