Brazil recorded 12 deaths from Covid and 1,445 cases of the disease, this Sunday (30). With this, the country reaches 688,155 lives lost and 34,866,663 people infected since the beginning of the pandemic.
During weekends, some states do not release updated data. This Sunday, Acre, Piauí, Ceará, Roraima, Rio de Janeiro, Maranhão, Distrito Federal and Santa Catarina did not update information about the pandemic. Therefore, the consolidated numbers of the pandemic on weekends are usually lower.
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 the numbers related to the new 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-19 on weekends and holidays. On working days, the data will be updated normally. The measure aims to avoid inaccuracies in the numbers provided to the reader.
The change occurs due to problems in the consolidation of vaccination data by state secretariats. Several states do not update the total number of vaccinated on weekends and holidays, and even those that do sometimes report outdated numbers, which do not correspond to reality and are usually corrected in the following days.
