Next is Rio de Janeiro state, which has lost more than 1,500 lives to the coronavirus.But the crisis appears to be most acute in Amazonas state, whose hospitals have collapsed due to an infection rate of 2,588 cases for every 1 million residents.Sao Paulo state, which began restricting movement and activity on March 24, had been planning for a gradual re-opening of the economy prior to Gov. Joao Doria's decision Friday to keep quarantine measures in place until the end of May.His counterpart in Rio state, Wilson Witzel, has asked the Attorney General's Office to review a proposal for a much-stricter lockdown.
