National Confederation of Trade in Goods, Services, and Tourism (CNC) estimates.<\/p>\n<p>As a whole, Latin America\u2019s biggest economy is facing a record contraction of 9.1 percent this year,

foreigners will want to come.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil has regularly recorded more than 1,000 deaths a day since early July, and more than 30,000 new cases a day since mid-June.<\/p>\n<p>President Jair Bolsonaro\u2019s government has struggled to bring the outbreak under control and faces criticism for its handling of the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The far-right leader has dismissed the virus as a \u201clittle flu\u201d and attacked lockdown measures by state and local authorities to contain it, arguing the economic fallout could be worse than the disease.<\/p>\n<p>Even after contracting the virus himself earlier this month, forcing him to work from quarantine at the presidential palace for more than two weeks, Bolsonaro has continued to downplay the severity of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than lockdowns, Bolsonaro is pushing the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as the way to fight the virus.<\/p>\n<p>Like US President Donald Trump, whom he admires, Bolsonaro touts the drug as a remedy for the virus, despite a slate of scientific studies finding it has no effect against COVID-19 and can cause serious side effects.<\/p>\n<p>After testing positive for the virus, the Brazilian leader took hydroxychloroquine himself, regularly showing off his box of pills.<\/p>\n<p>Bolsonaro is currently on his third health minister of the pandemic, an active-duty army general with no prior medical experience.<\/p>\n<p>The interim minister\u2019s two predecessors, both doctors, left after clashing with Bolsonaro, including over his insistence the health ministry recommends hydroxychloroquine against COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, most states have begun relaxing their stay-at-home measures, encouraged by the fact the number of infections finally appears to have reached a plateau.<\/p>\n<p>But Brazil\u2019s infection curve has flattened at a very high level of daily cases, and experts warn it is still too soon to exit lockdowns in many places.<\/p>\n<div id=\"newsatme_article_subscription_wrapper\">\n<p id=\"newsatme_article_title_callout\">If you wish to receive new articles related to\u00a0<span
