Since the beginning of the pandemic, Brazil has accounted for 34,147,287 cases and 681,317 deaths from Covid-19. This Friday (12), 292 deaths and 28,884 infections were recorded.

The moving average of cases is 23,256 infections per day, a reduction of 32.37% compared to the data of two weeks ago. The average number of deaths is 216 deaths per day, down 2.26%.

Federal District, Mato Grosso do Sul, Roraima and Sergipe did not register deaths.

The country’s data, collected until 8 pm, are the result of a collaboration between Folha, UOL, O Estado de S. Paulo, Extra, O Globo and G1 to gather and disseminate figures related to the coronavirus pandemic. The information is collected by the consortium of press vehicles daily with the state Health Departments.

In all, 180,339,985 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 169,567,101 people with both doses or with one dose of Janssen vaccine.

Thus, the country already has 83.95% of the population with the 1st dose and 78.93% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of the Janssen vaccine.

To date, 101,022,042 people have taken the third dose and 26,017,581 the fourth.

Acre, Alagoas and Mato Grosso, Paraíba and Rio Grande do Norte did not update vaccines.

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 51.76% and the one that received the second dose is 34.36%.

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
