Brazil exceeds 667 thousand deaths by Covid

by

Brazil recorded 41 deaths from Covid and 34,707 cases of the disease, this Friday (3). With that, the country reached 667,019 lives lost and 31,134,530 people infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.

The state of São Paulo did not update data this Friday and claimed that this was due to problems in the federal system.

The moving average of cases continues to grow sharply. It now stands at 31,048 infections per day, 112% more than two weeks ago. The average number of deaths, on the other hand, remains stable (no variations greater than 15%) and now stands at 93 per day.

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 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 initiative of the consortium of press vehicles occurred in response to the attitudes of the Jair Bolsonaro (PL) government, which threatened to withhold data, delayed newsletters about the disease and took information from the air, with the interruption of the disclosure of the totals of cases and deaths. In addition, the government has released conflicting data.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
