There are calls for Brazil's president to resign over his response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Jair Bolsonaro has played down the threat of Covid-19 by attending an anti-lockdown protest and not wearing a mask.

The mayor of one city badly hit by the virus said the president was "co responsible" for the country's death toll of more than 22,000.

Brazil now has over 360,000 cases of coronavirus, the second highest number of cases in the world.
