Brazil registers 40 deaths and more than 12,300 cases of Covid in the last 24 hours

Brazil recorded 12,369 cases and 40 deaths from Covid this Sunday (11). With this, the country reaches 35,615,590 infections and 690,946 lives lost since the beginning of the pandemic.

The moving averages of registered infections and deaths were 29,534 and 102, a variation, respectively, of 26% and 33% compared to two weeks ago. They are, however, slightly lower compared to the previous day (from 33,844 and 116).

The data for the country, collected until 8 pm, are the result of collaboration between SheetUOL, O Estado de S. Paulo, Extra, O Globo and G1 to gather and disseminate numbers related to the coronavirus pandemic.

Infections and deaths were recorded in 14 states. Eight states had no deaths in the past 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.
