by

Brazil recorded 47 deaths from Covid this Sunday (19). As a result, the country has a moving average of 133, which represents an increase of 73% compared to two weeks ago. This percentage is the highest since February 10, when the country had an 85% increase in the average number of deaths. In recent days, a gradual increase in the number of deaths has been observed.

In relation to new cases, Brazil computed 9,376 infections by Sars-CoV-2 in the last 24 hours. Now, the country has a moving average of cases of 32,581. As a result, a percentage that indicates stability (ie, no variations greater than 15%) was observed in relation to the average of cases of two weeks ago.

With this Sunday’s information, Brazil has lost 669,109 lives and 31,700,385 people infected by Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.

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 working days, the data will be updated normally. The measure aims to avoid inaccuracies in the numbers provided to the reader.

The change is due to problems in the consolidation of vaccination data by state departments. Several 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no longer update the total number of vaccinated on weekends and holidays, and even those that do sometimes report outdated numbers, which do not correspond to reality and are usually corrected in the following days.

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 released conflicting data.
