The COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil has resulted in 37,511,921[1] confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 702,116[1] deaths. The virus was confirmed to have spread to Brazil on 25 February 2020,[4] when a man from São Paulo who had traveled to Italy[5] tested positive for the virus. The disease had spread to every federative unit of Brazil by 21 March. On 19 June 2020, the country reported its one millionth case and nearly 49,000 reported deaths.[6][7] One estimate of under-reporting was 22.62% of total reported COVID-19 mortality in 2020.[8][9][10]

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a variety of responses from federal, state and local governments, having an impact on politics, education, the environment,[11] and the economy. On 27 March 2020 Brazil announced a temporary ban on foreign air travelers[12] and most state governors have imposed quarantines to prevent the spread of the virus.[13] President Jair Bolsonaro perpetuated conspiracy theories surrounding COVID-19 treatments[14] and its origins,[15] and was accused of downplaying effective mitigations and pursuing a strategy of herd immunity.[16] In October 2021, a congressional panel recommended criminal charges against the president for his handling of the pandemic, including crimes against humanity.[16]

As of 10 November 2024, Brazil, with 37,511,921[1] confirmed cases and 702,116[1] deaths, has the third-highest number of confirmed cases and second-highest death toll from COVID-19 in the world, behind only those of the United States and of India.
