by

Brazil recorded 159 deaths from Covid and 10,994 cases of the disease, this Monday (22). As a result, the country has lost 682,746 lives and 34,289,738 people infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.

Acre, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul and Sergipe did not record any deaths.

Moving averages of deaths and cases are falling. The average number of deaths now stands at 162 per day, a reduction of 30.76% compared to data from two weeks ago. The average number of infections is 16,086, a drop of 71.80% compared to the same period.

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, 180,560,067 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 169,838,226 people with both doses or with one dose of Janssen vaccine.

Thus, the country already has 84.05% of the population with the 1st dose and 79.06% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of the Janssen vaccine.

To date, 101,721,506 people have taken the third dose and 27,153,889 the fourth.

Acre, Espírito Santo, Paraíba, Paraná and Rio de Janeiro did not update the vaccine data.

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 52.20% and the one that received the second dose is 34.75%.

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 released conflicting data.
