Brazil recorded, this Wednesday (12), 60 deaths from Covid and 4,478 cases of the disease. As a result, the country has lost 687,076 lives and 34,777,993 people infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.

The moving average of deaths is now 62 per day. In comparison with the data of two weeks ago, the average dropped 27.90%. The moving average of cases is 4,914 per day – a 27.55% reduction over the same period.

In April of this year, the consortium of press vehicles stopped updating vaccine information on weekends and holidays. The measure aims to avoid inaccuracies in the numbers provided to the reader.

The country’s data, collected up to 8 pm, are the result of a collaboration between Folha, UOL, O Estado de S. Paulo, Extra, O Globo and G1 to gather and disseminate figures related to the coronavirus pandemic.

The information is collected by the consortium of press vehicles daily with the State Health Departments.

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.
