Brazil records 37 deaths from Covid and 3,400 cases of the disease

Brazil recorded, this Friday (21), 37 deaths from Covid and 3,400 cases of the disease. As a result, the country has lost 687,581 lives and 34,822,174 people infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.

The moving average of deaths is now 56 per day, a 33% reduction compared to the data of two weeks ago, which indicates a downward trend. The moving average of cases is at 4,811 per day — a 21% decrease over the same period.

The downward trend is verified when the negative variation exceeds 15% in a period of 14 days. The bullish movement, in turn, happens when the variation is greater than 15%.

São Paulo has not released data for two days, and the state government alleges problems in the Ministry of Health system. Acre, Mato Grosso do Sul, Piauí, Roraima and Tocantins also did not update their information.

The country data, collected up to 8 pm, are the result of collaboration between SheetUOL, O Estado de S. Paulo, Extra, O Globo and G1 to gather and publish figures related to the coronavirus pandemic.

In all, 181,900,509 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil. Added to the single doses of Janssen vaccine, there are 171,312,598 people with both doses or with one dose of Janssen vaccine

Thus, the country already has 84.67% of the population with the 1st dose and 79.74% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of the Janssen vaccine.

So far, 104,922,254 people have taken the third dose, and 34,512,869 the fourth.

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.
