BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazil's health minister Nelson Teich handed in his resignation on Friday, his office said, after fewer than a month on the job as the country becomes a world hotspot for coronavirus.


Teich, who disagreed with right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro, will hold a press conference later Friday. Brazil has now surpassed Germany and France and had more than 200,000 confirmed cases of the virus as of Thursday.
