Brazil completes 20 days with average Covid cases above 50,000

by

Brazil completed 20 days in a row with a moving average of Covid cases above 50 thousand per day. This Wednesday (13), the average was 55,784 infections per day, a situation of stability in relation to the data of two weeks ago.

This Wednesday, 388 deaths were recorded by Covid and 70,350 cases of the disease. With this, the country reached 674,554 lives lost and 33,075,628 people infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.

The moving average of deaths is now 246 per day, also in a stable situation, that is, with no variation greater than 15% in relation to the data of two weeks ago. There is, however, a variation to more than 14%, that is, almost at the limit of the stability margin.

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.

In all, 179,337,855 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil. Added to the single doses of Janssen’s vaccine against Covid, there are already 168,090,874 people with both doses or with one dose of Janssen vaccine.

Thus, the country already has 83.48% of the population with the 1st dose and 78.24% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of the Janssen vaccine.

So far, 97,614,635 people have taken the third dose and 18,023,833 the fourth.

The consortium also gathers the record of vaccine doses administered to children. The population aged 5 to 11 years partially immunized (with only the first dose of vaccine received) is 63.97%, totaling 13,114,864. In the same age group, 39.76% (8,150,370) received the second dose or the single dose. There was also a review of the doses applied in this age group.

Even those who received both doses or one dose of the Janssen vaccine should maintain basic care, such as wearing a mask and social distancing, say experts.

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
