Brazil reaches 681 thousand deaths from Covid

by

Brazil has reached 681,025 deaths from Covid since the beginning of the pandemic. This Thursday (11), 173 deaths and 22,808 cases were recorded. With this, the country reaches 34,118,403 infections.

São Paulo did not update the Covid data. There was no explanation of the reason.

The moving average of cases has dropped for the 21st consecutive day. It now stands at 22,405 infections a day, down 35% from two weeks ago.

The average death rate remains stable (no variations greater than 15% compared to two weeks earlier) and is now 204 deaths 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, 180,298,064 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 169,524,100 people with both doses or with one dose of Janssen vaccine.

Thus, the country already has 83.93% of the population with the 1st dose and 78.91% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of the Janssen vaccine.

To date, 102,478,139 people have taken the third dose and 24,550,757 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 51.19% and the one that received the second dose is 33.09%.

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
