Brazil recorded 71 deaths from Covid and 25,790 cases of the disease this Thursday (24). With that, the country reaches 689,396 lives lost and 35,147,091 infected since the beginning of the pandemic.
The moving average of deaths is 73 per day, up 59% compared to the data from 14 days ago. The moving average of cases is 19,702 per day, up 133% over the same period.
Of the states that updated the information, Acre, Alagoas, Mato Grosso, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte and Sergipe did not register deaths.
The country’s data, collected until 8 pm, are the result of collaboration between Folha, UOL, O Estado de S. Paulo, Extra, O Globo and G1 to gather and disseminate figures related to the coronavirus pandemic.
The information is collected daily by the consortium of press vehicles with the State Health Secretariats.
In all, 181,998,316 people received at least the first dose of a Covid vaccine in Brazil. Added to the single doses of Janssen’s vaccine, there are 172,025,593 people with both doses or one dose of Janssen’s vaccine.
Thus, the country already has 84.72% of the population with the 1st dose and 80.08% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of Janssen’s vaccine.
So far, 106,123,712 people have already taken the third dose, and 36,659,950, the fourth.
The initiative by the consortium of press vehicles occurred in response to the actions of the Jair Bolsonaro (PL) government, which threatened to withhold data, delayed bulletins about the disease and removed information from the air, with the interruption of the disclosure of total cases and deaths.
