Brazil recorded 379 deaths by Covid and 11,287 cases of the disease, this Friday (29). With that, the country reached 607,504 deaths and 21,791,761 infections by Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.
Moving averages of deaths and cases remain stable, with no variation greater than 15%. Currently, there are 328 deaths per day by Covid and 11,563 daily infections.
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 disseminate the numbers related to the new coronavirus pandemic. The information is collected by the consortium of press vehicles daily with the state Health Departments.
Covid-19 vaccination data, also collected by the consortium, were updated in 20 states and the Federal District.
Brazil registered 1,344,005 doses of vaccines against Covid-19, this Friday. According to data from the state health departments, there were 214,212 first doses and 790,989 second. 340,444 booster doses were also recorded.
The record of single doses was negative (-1640) this Friday. This was due to data revisions in Ceará (-612) and Espírito Santo (-2,920).
In all, 154,479,447 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil — 110,515,982 of them have already received the second dose of the immunizing agent. Added to the single doses of the Janssen vaccine against Covid, there are already 115,042,737 people with a complete vaccination schedule in the country.
Thus, the country already has 72.42% of the population with the 1st dose and 53.93% of Brazilians with a complete vaccination schedule. Considering only the adult population, the values are, respectively, 95.30% and 70.97%.
Even those who completed the vaccination schedule with two doses must maintain basic care, such as wearing a mask and social distance, experts say.
The initiative of the consortium of press vehicles took place in response to the attitudes of the Jair Bolsonaro (non-party) government, which threatened to withhold data, delayed bulletins about the disease and took information off the air, with the interruption of the dissemination of the totals of cases and deaths. In addition, the government released conflicting data.
