Brazil reaches 679,000 deaths from Covid

by

Brazil recorded 271 deaths from Covid, this Tuesday (2) and reached 679,063 lives lost since the beginning of the pandemic.

The country also recorded 33,485 cases of the disease and already has 33,890,290 infections by Sars-CoV-2.

Piauí did not release updated information on Tuesday.

The moving average of cases remains in decline. With a 39% reduction from two weeks ago, it now stands at 32,812 infections per day.

On the other hand, the average number of deaths is stable, that is, without variations of more than 15%, also in relation to two weeks before. The average is now 214 deaths per day.

In all, 179,931,985 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil. Added to the single doses of Janssen’s Covid vaccine, there are already 169,113,500 people with both doses or with one dose of Janssen vaccine.

There was a decrease in the number of first doses applied due to the negative number (-59,451) released by the Federal District.

Thus, the country already has 83.76% of the population with the 1st dose and 78.72% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of the Janssen vaccine.

So far, 101,063,590 people have taken the third dose and 22,447,946 the fourth.

The consortium also gathers the record of vaccine doses administered to children. With the expansion of the age group that can receive the vaccine against Covid, the consortium now presents the population from 3 to 11 years old immunized. In this range, the partially immunized share (with only the first dose of vaccine received) is 50.71% and that which received the second dose is 32.6%.

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
