Brazil's most populous state eyes reopening business in June

Sao Paulo state, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in Brazil, will reopen some of its closed businesses starting June 1 despite a fast growing number of confirmed COVID-19 cases. Gov. João Doria said Wednesday that stay-at-home recommendations will remain in effect until June 15 for the state that’s home to 46 million people, but some economic activity will resume in regions where daily increase in cases slow and enough intensive-care beds are available. More than 6,700 people have died because of the new coronavirus in Sao Paulo state, about one fourth of all Brazil’s deaths.
