Brazil recorded 227 deaths from Covid and 5,034 cases of the disease, this Wednesday (15), with states still reporting notification problems because of the hacker attack on the Ministry of Health’s systems. With this Wednesday’s data, the country completed 30 days in a row with a moving average of cases below 10 thousand cases.
The moving average of infections is now 4,709 per day, the lowest since April 28, 2020, when the figure was 4,274.
The moving average of deaths is now 150, down 31% from data two weeks ago.
The country reached, this Wednesday, 617,348 lives lost and 22,199,331 people infected since the beginning of the pandemic.
Country data, collected up to 8 pm, are the result of collaboration between leaf, 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.
Data on vaccination against Covid-19 are among those affected, in several states, by the attack on the ministry’s website. In any case, the information was at least partially updated in 12 states and the Federal District.
Brazil registered 1,354,353 doses of vaccines against Covid-19, this Wednesday. According to data from the state departments of Health, there were 169,678 first doses, 790,483 second doses. In addition, 1,010 booster doses and 393,182 booster doses were recorded.
There was a review of single doses in Mato Grosso do Sul and, therefore, the record was negative (-15).
In all, 160,374,514 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil —136,195,910 of them have already received the second dose of the immunizing agent. Added to the single doses of the Janssen vaccine against Covid, there are 140,781,302 people with both doses or one dose of Janssen vaccine.
Thus, the country already has 75.18% of the population with the 1st dose and 66.00% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of Janssen vaccine. Considering only the adult population, the values are, respectively, 98.94% and 86.85%.
Even those who received two doses or one dose of Janssen vaccine 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.
