Brazil recorded 62 deaths from Covid and 20,521 cases of the disease, this Saturday (21). With this, the country reaches 665,657 deaths and 30,780,028 registered cases of Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic.
The moving average of deaths continues to rise from two weeks ago at 105, up 18%. The moving average of cases showed a variation of -7% in relation to the data of the previous fifteen days, reaching 14,646. This variation is not enough to indicate a fall.
In the last week, the laboratories of the private testing network have already recorded an increase in the positivity rate of tests for Covid. In the public network, however, many cases may still not be registered due to underreporting.
The statistical feature that seeks to mitigate variations in data, such as those that usually happen on weekends and holidays, is calculated by adding the deaths in the last seven days and dividing the result by seven.
The country data, collected up to 8 pm, are the result of collaboration between SheetUOL, O Estado de S. Paulo, Extra, O Globo and G1 to gather and disclose the numbers related to the new coronavirus pandemic.
The information is collected by the consortium of press vehicles daily with the state Health Departments.
The consortium of press vehicles stopped updating the numbers of vaccinated against Covid-19 on weekends and holidays. On business days, the data will be updated normally. The measure aims to avoid inaccuracies in the numbers provided to the reader.
The change, which debuted last month, is due to problems in consolidating vaccination data by state departments. Seven states no longer update the total number of vaccinated on weekends and holidays, and even those that do sometimes report outdated numbers, which do not correspond to reality and are usually corrected in the following days.
There is no change in the balance of cases and deaths from the coronavirus, which will continue to be published by the vehicles every day, at 20 pm.
