247 - "The government is doing everything to manipulate the seriousness of Covid-19 in the country. After downplaying the devastating effects caused by the coronavirus, it is now trying to hide the number of deaths and infected people," Marina Silva posted on her Twitter account.

"This is a crime against the nation, a crime against humanity, and an undeniable crime of responsibility," he concludes.
