BRASILIA—World War Two veteran Ermando Piveta, aged 99, became the oldest Brazilian to recover from the CCP virus on Tuesday.
Piveta’s release from hospital was a bright moment in an otherwise darkening scenario as the epidemic hit Brazil with force this week. The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, also known as the novel coronavirus, has infected 25,262 people and killed 1,532 people, the health ministry said on Tuesday, with 204 deaths just in the last 24 hours.
