The Covid-19 epidemic has passed the death toll of 3 million worldwide. While some countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom seem to be improving, the health situation is critical in many countries.
This is the case of Brazil, which is struggling to manage the crisis effectively and is overwhelmed by the so-called “Brazilian” variant.
A “special pass”
It is for this reason that France has suspended flights to and from the South American country until at least April 19, 2021, and has just implemented a quarantine for incoming travelers from Brazil. The same is true for three other countries: Argentina, Chile and South Africa.
Despite this context, the President of the Republic showed signs of hope in an interview with the American station CBS.
