Brazil has restored a website that lists the full data on Covid-19 in the country, just hours after it was ordered to do so by the Supreme Court. The health ministry stopped releasing cumulative totals for deaths and cases on Saturday, provoking uproar. On Tuesday a Supreme Court judge ordered the government to release the figures amid accusations of censorship. Brazil has the world's second-highest number of cases - and has now more daily deaths than any other nation. Earlier, President Jair Bolsonaro said the change in policy was a result of actions being taken to improve Covid-19 reporting. The health ministry said it would only report cases and deaths that had occurred in the past 24 hours. But critics accused the far-right president's government of data manipulation, with Brazil's national council of state health secretaries describing the move as "authoritarian, insensitive, inhuman and unethical". Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes told the ministry to "fully re-establish" the publication of Covid-19 data in the interests of public health. Brazil has the world's second-highest number of cases, and has recently had more new deaths than any other nation. The Latin American country has recorded more than 700,000 infections, but because of insufficient testing, the number is believed to be much higher. More than 37,000 people have died, the third-highest toll in the world. Using data from alternative sources, Brazilian media outlets started publishing their own coronavirus figures to keep the public informed. They criticised President Bolsonaro for his handling of the pandemic, during which he has opposed lockdown measures and downplayed the virus as "a little flu". On Tuesday, the president reiterated his threat to withdraw Brazil from the World Health Organization (WHO), accusing it of not acting responsibly during the pandemic. Last week, Mr Bolsonaro branded the health agency a "partisan political organisation", echoing comments made by US President Donald Trump, an ally of his. The president has repeatedly joined supporters in protests in recent months, ignoring social-distancing advice.
