Brazil recorded 351 deaths from Covid and 54,097 cases of the disease, this Wednesday (20). With this, the country reaches 676,280 lives lost and 33,452,137 people infected since the beginning of the pandemic.
The moving averages of deaths and cases remain stable, that is, without variations greater than 15%. The average number of deaths is now 247 per day and that of infections is 53,787 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 figures related to the coronavirus pandemic. The information is collected by the consortium of press vehicles daily with the state Health Departments.
In all, 179,562,731 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 168,546,014 people with both doses or with one dose of Janssen vaccine.
Thus, the country already has 83.58% of the population with the 1st dose and 78.46% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of the Janssen vaccine.
So far, 99,214,512 people have taken the third dose and 20,112,215 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 64.40%, totaling 13,201,380. In the same age group, 40.53% (8,308,543) 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.
