Brazil COVID: Hundreds protests as capital begins two-week lockdown
Al Jazeera, 01 Mar 2021
The Brazilian capital entered another lockdown on Sunday, local authorities saying it was necessary as hospitals in Brasilia are running out of ICU beds.
Brazil, whose death toll recently passed 250,000, is struggling to deal with a rising tide of infections.
The two-week lockdown has angered hundreds of Brazilians who took to the streets on Sunday to oppose the latest measures.
