President Bolsonaro continues to downplay the virus and slammed lockdown measures. He flouted social distancing guidelines on Sunday. Wearing a mask, Bolsonaro posed for pictures with supporters and did a series of push-ups with paratroopers. Vigilance is the key message in Italy as the country moves to relax its coronavirus lockdown after more than two months. Businesses are opening their doors again. But it will be far from a return to normal. Authorities warn that the virus has not gone away - and if new infections start to grow rapidly again, restrictions may come back.
