Brazil recorded 137 deaths from Covid and 2,457 cases of the disease, this Saturday (18th). As a result, the country has lost 617,784 lives and 22,209,815 people infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.
Some states remain with record instability issues due to the December 10 cyber attack on the Ministry of Health’s system.
Bahia, Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul, Pernambuco, Roraima and Tocantins did not update data on deaths and deaths due to the unavailability of the system.
Moving averages of deaths and cases remain falling. The average number of deaths is now 132 per day, down 32% from the figure two weeks ago. The average number of infections is 3,450 per day, down 61%.
The average of deaths completed 15 days below 200.
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 daily by the consortium of press vehicles with the state Health Departments.
Data on vaccination against Covid-19 are among the most affected, in several states, by the attack on the ministry’s website. In any case, the information was at least partially updated in 11 states.
Brazil registered 77,355 doses of vaccines against Covid-19, this Saturday. According to data from the state health departments, 62,922 second doses, 129,139 booster doses and 2,305 single doses were applied.
In all, 160,438,050 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil —136,798,085 of them have already received the second dose of the immunizing agent. Added to the single doses of Janssen’s vaccine against Covid, there are already 141,388,148 people with two doses or one dose of Janssen’s vaccine.​
Thus, the country already has 75.25% of the population with the 1st dose and 66.28% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of Janssen vaccine. Considering only the adult population, the values ​​are, respectively, 99.03% and 87.05%​​.
Even those who received two doses or one dose of the 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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
