Brazil records 61 deaths from Covid and almost 8,000 cases in 24 hours

by

Brazil recorded 61 more deaths from Covid and 7,966 new cases of the disease this Sunday (29).

The country thus reaches 666,496 lives lost and 30,948,372 people infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.

The moving average of cases is up 30% from two weeks ago. It now stands at 23,147 infections a day. The average number of deaths is 117 per day, a situation of stability (no variation of more than 15% also in relation to the data of two weeks ago).

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 publish figures related to the 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no longer update the total number of vaccinated on weekends and holidays, and even those that do sometimes report outdated numbers, which do not correspond to reality and are usually corrected in the following days.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 continues to be published by vehicles every day, at 20 pm.
