Brazil recorded 70 more deaths from Covid and 59,210 cases of the disease this Saturday (28). It’s the fourth day this week with high numbers of infections.
The country thus reaches 666,435 lives lost and 30,976,406 people infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.
The moving average of cases is up 27% from two weeks ago. It now stands at 28,054 infections a day. The average number of deaths is now 111 per day, a situation of stability (no variation of more than 15% also in relation to the data of two weeks ago).
The average number of cases is the highest since April 3 this year, when it was 22,950.
The country data, collected up to 8 pm, are the result of collaboration between Sheet, UOL, 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no longer update the total number of vaccinated on weekends and holidays, and even those that do sometimes report outdated numbers, which do not correspond to reality and are usually corrected in the following days.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.
