The mayor of the small Brazilian town of Iranduba imposed a daily curfew of 2pm last week to fight the spread of the coronavirus. The streets may now be empty but the town's hospital beds are at 90 percent capacity.

"I got here at 11am,” said one man. “I was able to get a tank to try and save my father and a friend ... it's been a devastating experience."
