Brazil completes 40 days of falling average Covid cases

by

Brazil completed 40 consecutive days of decline in the moving average of Covid cases. With the 16,662 infections recorded on Tuesday (30), the average is now 14,570 per day, a reduction of 18% compared to the data of two weeks ago.

The moving average of deaths is also falling and is now 139 per day, down 20%. This Tuesday, 196 deaths were recorded.

Brazil now adds 683,914 lives lost and 34,411,594 people infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.

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, 180,756,439 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 170,103,758 people with both doses or with one dose of Janssen vaccine.

Thus, the country already has 84.14% of the population with the 1st dose and 79.18% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of the Janssen vaccine.

To date, 102,400,958 people have taken the third dose and 27,923,483 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 52.68% and the one that received the second dose is 35.20%.

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.
