HARLOW: So the president is considering a travel ban on Latin America, Brazil in particular. Why? Because Brazil now has the third highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the world.</s>SCIUTTO: Yes. This, to be seen in part of a broader assault on immigration into the U.S. CNN international correspondent Shasta Darlington is in Sao Paolo. Interesting because the Brazilian president, like President Trump, has downplayed the threat throughout.</s>SHASTA DARLINGTON, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: You know, that's right. That's why we haven't really seen an official reaction to the idea that there could be a travel ban, but we've seen plenty of reaction on Twitter, with Brazilians pointing out that the United States still has more than five times the number of cases that Brazil has. On the other hand, Brazil actually barred entry to foreigners back in March, so they can't say too much now, can they? It was also in March when governors implemented quarantine measures in states across Brazil. At the same time that President Jair Bolsonaro was still referring to coronavirus as a little flu, and insisting that unemployment and hunger would kill more people than the virus. Well, fast-forward now, as you mentioned, Brazil is the country with the third highest number of cases in the world. Yesterday, the health ministry reported 1,179 new deaths, a record; of the new number of cases, over 17,000, also a record. And so on this day when these numbers are soaring, what we have is Bolsonaro, still talking about malaria drugs and how they're the cure, they're expanding use of those drugs.</s>HARLOW: Shasta, thank you very much. We'll keep everyone posted on how that develops. Thanks to all of you for joining us today. We'll see you back here tomorrow morning. I'm Poppy Harlow.</s>SCIUTTO: And I'm Jim Sciutto. Up next, the governor of Connecticut, on his move to reopen today.
