SAO PAULO - Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Saturday defended his government’s move to partially withhold official data on the scale of the world’s second-largest coronavirus outbreak.
“The cumulative data ... does not reflect the moment the country is in,” Bolsonaro said on Twitter, citing a note from the ministry. “Other actions are underway to improve the reporting of cases and confirmation of diagnoses.” “Transparency of information is a powerful instrument for combating the epidemic,” wrote Paulo Jeronimo de Sousa, head of the Brazilian Press Association, in a note accusing the government of “trying to silence the press at this late hour.”
