Brazil recorded 103 deaths from Covid and 12,608 cases of the disease this Saturday (20). As a result, the country has lost 682,560 lives and 34,274,619 people infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.
The moving average of cases continues to fall. With a 40% reduction compared to seven days ago, it reached 15,739 infections per day. The average number of deaths also continues to fall and is now 154 deaths per day.
Mato Grosso, Distrito Federal, Roraima, Maranhão, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Tocantins and Minas Gerais did not update data on deaths and cases this Saturday. Amazonas, Mato Grosso do Sul, Sergipe, Rondônia, Acre, ParaÃba, Piauà and Amapá did not register any deaths from the disease.
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.
The consortium of press vehicles stopped updating the numbers of vaccinated against Covid on weekends and holidays. On working days, the data is updated as usual. The measure aims to avoid inaccuracies in the numbers provided to the reader.
The change occurs due to problems in the consolidation of vaccination data by state secretariats. Several states do not update the total number of vaccinated on weekends and holidays, and even those that do sometimes report outdated numbers, which do not correspond to reality and are usually corrected in the following days.
