Latin America: Economic inequality makes coronavirus worse

PAHO says the spread of COVID-19 in Latin America will take longer to slow.

The number of infections is growing exponentially in Brazil, Peru and Mexico.

Analysts believe economic inequality is largely to blame for the region becoming the new coronavirus epicentre.
