The death toll in Brazil rose from 46 to 57 on Thursday, while confirmed cases rose to 2,433 from 2,201 the day before as the virus continues to spread. The situation in Brazil could get even worse if president Jair Bolsonaro goes through with his vow to reopen schools and offices to preserve the nation's economy. Neymar is currently enjoying a break after Ligue 1 was suspended until at least April 2 following the outbreak of coronavirus.
In recent days, the 28-year-old has posted pictures of him keeping fit alongside a personal trainer in a bid to stay in shape in the event the football season resumes soon.
The enforced break has come at a bad time for PSG, with the club currently top of Ligue 1 and through to the Champions League quarter-finals.
Neymar scored the opening goal as PSG beat Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of their last-16 tie, in a game that was played behind closed doors in a bid to halt large gatherings of fans spreading the virus.
But that didn't stop thousands of fans from gathering outside the club's Parc des Princes stadium, and players celebrating with supporters after the game.
PSG players, including Neymar, were slammed for mixing with fans after the game and failing to take coronavirus guidelines seriously. The Brazilian showed him and his friends sunbathing on a foot volleyball court and sat side by side on a nearby bench back home in Brazil. Neymar's reckless actions directly contravene advice issued by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in a bid to combat the spread of the virus.
