Brazil's government has confirmed its first case of coronavirus on Wednesday after a 61-year-old Brazilian man who had been traveling in Italy this month became infected.
“We will now see how this virus behaves in a tropical country in the middle of summer, how its behavior pattern will be,” Brazil's Health Minister Luiz Henrique Mandetta said in a press conference.
