Bolsonaro allows Brazilians to go to the gym as coronavirus cases surge

Brazil registered 5,632 new coronavirus cases on Monday and 396 deaths from the disease, according to the Health Ministry.

Reporting of coronavirus cases from state health authorities to the ministry tends to slow over the weekend. On Monday, the ministry revised up Sunday's toll for the virus to 12,392 new cases and 892 deaths, the country's worst single day tally yet.After initially decreeing that establishments such as pharmacies and grocery stores were essential, Bolsonaro later expanded that list to include lotteries and churches.

Health Minister Nelson Teich told a briefing on Monday that the ministry had not been consulted about Bolsonaro's decision to allow gyms and beauty salons to reopen. "It is local health authorities' responsibility to adopt or loosen non-pharmacological measures," it said.
