Brazil recorded, this Saturday (22), 84 deaths from Covid-19 and 6,742 cases of the disease. As a result, the country has lost 687,665 lives and 34,828,916 people infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.

The moving average of deaths is now 67 per day. In comparison with the data of two weeks ago, the average dropped 13%. The moving average of cases is now at 5,307 per day, a 14% decrease from 14 days ago.

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 initiative by 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.
