Brazil for the first time has surpassed the U.S. with the most reported coronavirus fatalities over a 24-hour period Monday, Reuters reported.

Brazil confirmed 807 deaths, while the U.S. reported 620, according to the news service.

The South American country now has the second-largest outbreak in the world, behind the United States. Brazil has confirmed at least 374,898 cases of the virus, in addition to 23,473 deaths. The U.S. has recorded more than 1.6 million cases and 98,191 deaths, according to data from The New York Times.

The White House on Sunday announced that President Trump was restricting the entry of non-U.S. citizens traveling from Brazil amid its ongoing outbreak.

4. Good thing US citizens don't spread the virus

A big part of the pandemic exploding in the US was Americans returning from hotspots without any screening, quarantining, or contact tracing, or anything other than encouragement to blame China and Asian-Americans who may have never even been to China.
