The country's Ministry of Health removed months of novel coronavirus related data including total case count and cumulative fatalities from its COVID-19 website (https://https://covid.saude.gov.br) on Friday. President Jair Bolsonaro defended the delaying and withholding of official data, saying they are being "adapted for better precision." According to Johns Hopkins University, Brazil is the second worst-hit nation only behind the US and has the third-highest death toll in the world. The Bolsonaro government has faced widespread criticism for its response to the pandemic.
