From masks becoming 'a political hazard' in California to dubious Covid-19 'cures' in Brazil, here's what you need to know about the coronavirus right now.

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday the United States would not close businesses again as several states reported rising numbers of new coronavirus infections.

It is "a political hazard to act in the interest of public health," complained Tubbs, a liberal whose city has several conservatives on the council.

Unusual 'cures' received by Reuters reporters on WhatsApp in recent weeks include the consumption of fruits like avocados and pineapples.
