Average number of deaths from Covid completes a growing week in Brazil

The moving average of deaths in Brazil completed a week of growth and now stands at 72 deaths per day, an increase of 40%.

Brazil recorded 18 deaths and 1,543 cases this Monday (10). As a result, the country has lost 686,928 lives and 34,766,204 people have been infected since the beginning of the pandemic.

The average number of cases remains stable (that is, without variations greater than 15%, compared to the data of two weeks ago) and now stands at 5,671.

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, 181,794,444 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil. Adding the single doses of Janssen vaccine, there are 170,980,780 people with two doses or with one dose of Janssen vaccine.

Thus, the country already has 84.62% of the population with the 1st dose and 79.59% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of the Janssen vaccine.

To date, 104,654,785 people have taken the third dose, and 34,056,751 the fourth.

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.
