Brazilian state governors call for minimum income amid corona pandemic
RIO DE JANEIRO, March 26 (NNN-Xinhua) — Brazilian state governors called on the federal government to adopt minimum income for citizens amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
Several states have established quarantine and isolation measures. Many people who have informal jobs are unable to work from home and thus lost all their incomes.
The governors, who held a nationwide meeting on Wednesday, called for a 2005 law establishing minimum income for all citizens to take effect.
