The death toll from the coronavirus pandemic surpassed 100,000 in Latin America, according to Reuters. And the numbers aren’t expected to go down anytime soon.

Latin America has seen a major spike in cases and deaths over the past month, as the virus recedes in other parts of the world – the number of infections has doubled in less than a month, to 2.2 million.

Brazil has seen more than 1.1 million cases as it approaches 53,000 confirmed deaths.

This is how the statistics for COVID-19 break down for Latin America and other countries in the region.
