Jair Bolsonaro’s supporters are refusing to accept defeat and are calling on the military to annul the results. Bolsonaro has still not conceded defeat to his rival Lula da Silva. But has said he will respect the constitution – and called on protesters to go home. Al Jazeera’s Monica Yanakiew reports from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has said the number of coronavirus infections in Brazil could be much higher than is being reported as the lack of testing means many cases are likely going undetected. Latin America’s largest country is currently the world’s second-worst affected with 51,000 deaths and more than a million infections of the novel coronavirus. Many more infections and deaths are feared because social distancing measures are not being taken seriously.
