As of April 2020, 73 percent of people surveyed in Brazil whose monthly income amounted to no more than twice the country's minimum wage stated that their earnings would decrease within the next months due to the novel coronavirus, which causes COVID-19. On the other hand, around one third (33 percent) of respondents whose monthly income amounted to over ten times Brazil's minimum wage said that their earnings would not decline because of the pandemic.
