Monica Calazans, a 54-year-old nurse in Sao Paulo, became on Sunday the first person to be inoculated in Brazil, receiving the Chinese vaccine known as CoronaVac after Brazilian health regulator Anvisa approved emergency use of COVID-19 vaccines from China's Sinovac Biotech Ltd and Britain's AstraZeneca.
A devastating series of tragedies struck Brazil on Saturday and Sunday, claiming numerous lives. On Saturday, a passenger bus in the state of Minas Gerais collided with a truck, killing 38 people and leaving 13 others injured. The bus, which was traveling from São Paulo, lost control after blowing a tire and burst into flames upon impact. Brazilian President Lula da Silva expressed condolences, vowing full support to the victims' families.
Just a day later, a small plane carrying 10 passengers crashed into shops in the popular tourist city of Gramado, in southern Brazil. All 10 people aboard the plane were confirmed dead. The crash triggered a massive fire, sending at least 15 people to the hospital with smoke inhalation. The plane struck a chimney, a second-floor building, and then a furniture store before debris scattered across the area, also hitting a nearby inn. Authorities have vowed to investigate both incidents thoroughly as the country mourns this twin tragedy.
