BOGOTA, Colombia (AA) - A total of 300 journalists have died from the coronavirus in Brazil between January 2020, when the first virus case was confirmed in the country, and July 2021, according to a trade union organization.

The head of the National Federation of Journalists (FENAJ) Maria Jose Braga said the ongoing national vaccination campaign has reduced the danger to journalists contracting the virus.
