by

Brazil recorded this Saturday (30) the lowest moving average of deaths by Covid since April 2020. At the moment, there are 314 deaths per day from the disease.

A lower index than this was only registered in the country on April 27, 2020, when the average was 287.

This Saturday, the country recorded 260 deaths by Covid and 6,940 new cases of the disease. With this, the country reached 607,764 deaths and 21,801,701 infections by Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.

Amapá and Acre did not register new deaths from the disease in the last 24 hours.

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 disseminate the numbers related to the pandemic of the new coronavirus. The information is collected by the consortium of press vehicles daily with the state Health Departments.

Vaccination data against Covid-19, also collected by the consortium, were updated in 17 states and the Federal District.​

Brazil registered 1,026,502 doses of vaccines against Covid-19, this Saturday. According to data from the state health departments, there were 143,699 first doses and 741,504 second. 140,505 booster doses and 794 single doses were also recorded.

In all, 154,578,020 people have received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil —115,657,075 of them have already received the second dose of the immunizing agent or a single dose.

Thus, the country already has 72.48% of the population with the 1st dose and 54.28% of Brazilians with a complete vaccination schedule.

Even those who completed the vaccination schedule with two doses must maintain basic care, such as wearing a mask and social distance, experts say.

The initiative of the consortium of press vehicles took place in response to the attitudes of the Jair Bolsonaro (non-party) government, which threatened to withhold data, delayed bulletins about the disease and took information off the air, with the interruption of the dissemination of total cases and deaths. In addition, the government released conflicting data.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
