According to data from the Brazilian Ministry of Health, as of the evening of the 23rd local time, the country had accumulated more than 28.48 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and more than 646,000 deaths. In the past 24 hours, there have been more than 133,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Brazil and 999 new deaths.

On the 23rd local time, the Brazilian National Health Supervision Agency approved the sale of the second COVID-19 self-testing reagent. Produced by a local company in Brazil, the test shows results after 15 minutes by testing a nasal swab sample.

In response to the aggressive new round of COVID-19 in early 2022 and the shortage of local medical resources, the Brazilian Ministry of Health began to actively promote the legal use of COVID-19 self-testing reagents in early January this year.

Brazil's National Health Supervision Agency officially approved the sales of COVID-19 self-testing reagents in the country on January 28 this year, and the first test was approved on February 17.

According to relevant regulations, the purchaser can complete the test by himself according to the operating instructions of the reagent without the assistance of others. According to the recommendations of the Brazilian Ministry of Health, patients with positive self-tests should go to the local hospital for treatment in time, and a professional doctor will conduct a review test and take necessary isolation and treatment as prescribed by the doctor.
