Health workers care for patients infected with Covid-19 at the full emergency room of the Nossa Senhora da Conceiao hospital in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul State. ― ETX Studio picRIO DE JANEIRO, April 12 — The number of Covid-19 patients under 40 in intensive care in Brazil surpassed older groups last month, a researcher said yesterday, amid a deadly surge driven partly by a new coronavirus variant.

The numbers suggest that P1, which can re-infect people who have had the original strain of the virus, may also be more virulent, Rezende said.
