Brazil registers 30 deaths from Covid and moving average of cases increases 74%

Brazil recorded 30 deaths from Covid and 5,262 cases of the disease this Saturday (12). With this, the country reaches 688,735 lives lost and 34,954,680 people infected since the beginning of the pandemic.

The moving average of deaths is now 45 per day, down 33% from two weeks ago. The moving average of cases is 8,935 per day, with an increase of 74% in the same period.

During weekends, some states do not release updated data. Therefore, the consolidated numbers of the pandemic released on Saturdays and Sundays are usually lower, despite the increase in cases in recent days.

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 is updated as usual. 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states do not update the total number of vaccinated on weekends and holidays, and even those that do sometimes report outdated numbers, which do not correspond to reality and are usually corrected in the following days.
