COVID-19:

Brazil's health ministry said 4,195 deaths were counted in the previous 24 hours, with the nation's pandemic toll quickly approaching 340,000, the second-highest in the world. Only the US has had daily death tolls higher than 4,000. A Peruvian report of 4,143 on Aug. 14 included deaths from several days.
