Brazil has now had over 1 million positive Covid-19 cases and more than 53,000 deaths from the virus - but nurses say they have been assaulted and ridiculed when they try to tell people of the risks they're facing.

With President Bolsonaro openly sceptical about the virus, the situation has become increasingly politicised. A judge ruled on Tuesday that the president would have to pay a $387 fine each day he continued to go maskless.

So Ana Catarine Carneiro, a director of the Union of Nurses in the city of Brasilia, has set up a campaign to remind people of the nurses who are affected by all this - especially the scores who have died.
