Coronavirus: Brazil's Bolsonaro waters down law requiring face masks

Brazil's President, Jair Bolsonaro, has sanctioned a law making the use of masks in public obligatory during the coronavirus pandemic.

However, he has vetoed their use in shops, churches and schools.
...
The bill passed by the Chamber of Deputies included an article saying that masks had to be worn by people in "commercial and industrial establishments, religious temples, teaching premises and also closed places where people are gathering".

On Friday, Mr Bolsonaro vetoed the article, arguing that it could lead to the violation of property rights.

So, you know, not enforced in the places they're needed.

What a dark day it was for Brazil when he was born. He's the last person who should be Brazil's President.

Unbearable knowing there are two of him, or two of Trump. Equally consumed by hatred.
