Brazil registered 54 deaths by Covid and 1,313 cases of the disease, this Sunday (19). With that, the country reached 617,838 lost lives and 22,211,128 people infected by 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.

Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul, Pernambuco Roraima and Tocantins did not update all or part of the death and death data due to the unavailability of the system.

Moving averages of deaths and cases remain falling. The average number of deaths is now 128 per day, down 34% from two weeks ago. The average number of infections is 3,397 per day, down 62%.

The average of deaths completed 16 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 10 states.

Brazil registered 48,435 doses of vaccines against Covid-19, this Sunday. According to data from the state health departments, 4,894 first doses, 14,893 second doses and 30,623 boosters were applied.

In all, 160,442,944 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil —136,812,978 of them have already received the second dose of the immunizing agent. Added to the single doses of the Janssen vaccine against Covid, there are already 141,401,066 people with two doses or with one dose of the Janssen vaccine.​

Thus, the country already has 75.21% of the population with the 1st dose and 66.29% 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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
