		</div><p>Brazil has topped 300,000 confirmed Covid-19 deaths, becoming the second country to do so amid a spike in infections that has seen the South American country report record death tolls in recent days.</p>
<p>The US reached the grim milestone on December 14, but has a larger population than Brazil.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, Brazil’s health ministry reported 2,009 daily Covid deaths, bringing its pandemic total to 300,685. On Tuesday, the country suffered a single-day record of 3,251 deaths.</p>
<p>According to local media reports, the latest coronavirus figures might be affected by changes in the government’s counting system. Newly appointed Health Minister Marcelo Queiroga said in a press conference he would check whether the numbers had been artificially reduced.</p>
<p>With daily death tolls at pandemic highs, state governors and mayors in Brazil have expressed fears that April could be as bad as March for the country’s overwhelmed hospitals.</p>
<p>Just in the past 75 days, Brazil has registered 100,000 confirmed coronavirus deaths, a spike health experts blame on a lack of political coordination in fighting the virus, new variants that spread more easily and a disregard for health protocols.</p>
<p>President Jair Bolsonaro on Wednesday held a meeting with the heads of other government branches to coordinate anti-virus efforts, but he did not propose any policies to deal with the pandemic.</p>
<p>Mr Bolsonaro has consistently downplayed the severity of the pandemic, insisting the economy must be kept humming to prevent worse hardship, and has criticised health measures imposed by local leaders.</p>
