Brazil has 20 days in a row with average deaths from Covid below 200

The moving average of deaths by Covid completed 20 days in a row below 200 deaths per day.

This Saturday (3), there were 80 deaths from Covid and 10,080 cases of the disease. As a result, the country has lost 684,414 lives and 34,515,431 people infected with Sars-Cov-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.

It is worth mentioning, however, that the numbers on weekends have been lower because several states stopped updating the pandemic data on Saturdays and Sundays. They are: Roraima, Federal District, Rio de Janeiro, Acre, Paraíba and Maranhão.

The moving average of cases increased 29% from two weeks earlier, and now stands at 19,676 infections per day. Case values ​​increased after the consortium changed the source used for data from Rio Grande do Norte.

The moving average of deaths is now 127 per day, a situation of stability, which means that there were no variations above 15% in relation to the data of two weeks earlier.

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states do not update the total number of vaccinated on weekends and holidays, and even those that do sometimes report outdated numbers, which do not correspond to reality and are usually corrected in the following days.
