Brazil recorded 14,765 cases and 69 deaths from Covid this Saturday (10). With that, the country reaches 35,603,221 infections and 690,906 lives lost since the beginning of the pandemic.
The moving averages of registered infections and deaths were 33,844 and 116, an increase, respectively, of 60% and 45% in relation to the previous fifteen days. However, they remain stable compared to the previous day.
The data for the country, collected until 8 pm, are the result of a collaboration between SheetUOL, O Estado de S. Paulo, Extra, O Globo and G1 to gather and disseminate numbers related to the coronavirus pandemic.
Amapá, Bahia, Ceará, Federal District, Maranhão, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Norte, Rondônia, Roraima, Sergipe and Tocantins did not register cases and deaths in the last 24 hours.
The information is collected daily by the consortium of press vehicles with the state Health Secretariats.
In April of this year, the consortium of press vehicles stopped updating information on vaccination on weekends and holidays. The measure seeks to avoid inaccuracies in the numbers reported to the reader.
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.
I have over 8 years of experience in the news industry. I have worked for various news websites and have also written for a few news agencies. I mostly cover healthcare news, but I am also interested in other topics such as politics, business, and entertainment. In my free time, I enjoy writing fiction and spending time with my family and friends.
