Brazil records 75 deaths from Covid and more than 43,900 cases of the disease

Brazil recorded 75 deaths from Covid and 43,930 cases of the disease this Monday (12). With that, the country reaches 691,021 lives lost and 35,659,520 infected since the beginning of the pandemic.

The moving average of deaths is 103 per day, up 46% compared to the data from 14 days ago. The moving average of cases is 31,927 per day, up 28% over the same period.

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, Amazonas, Espírito Santo and Paraná did not register deaths.

Data collection from Rio de Janeiro was not possible due to server problems, according to the press office of the State Health Secretariat. At least Mato Grosso do Sul and Piauí did not update the information on cases and deaths.

The information is collected daily by the consortium of press vehicles with the state Health Secretariats.

In all, 182,345,246 people received at least the first dose of a Covid vaccine in Brazil.

Added to the single doses of Janssen’s vaccine, there are 172,288,478 people with both doses or one dose of Janssen’s vaccine.

Thus, the country already has 84.88% of the population with the 1st dose and 80.2% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of the Janssen vaccine.

So far, 106,801,128 people have already taken the third dose, and 38,044,526, 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.
