Brazil’s Bolsonaro denounces mayors over virus lockdowns

Across Brazil, residents have been protesting against President Jair Bolsonaro’s response to the pandemic, by banging pots and pans from their windows.
Bolsonaro recently berated governors and mayors for taking measures to curb the spread of the virus.
That is despite more than 20 members of his own delegation having been infected.
Over 2,400 people have been infected there and 57 have now died.
