Brazil has the highest average number of deaths from Covid since August 30

Brazil reached the highest average number of deaths from Covid since August 30 of this year, when there were 139 deaths per day. This Monday (19), the average was also 139 deaths per day, an increase of 30% compared to the data of two weeks ago.

This Monday, 140 deaths from Covid and 29,579 cases of the disease were recorded. With that, the country reached 691,994 lives lost and 35,943,720 people infected by Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.

Just like the average of deaths, the moving average of cases has grown. With an increase of 33% (also in relation to the data of two weeks before), it is now 40,600 people infected per day.

Rio de Janeiro data is still not being computed due to server problems.

The data for the country, collected until 8 pm, are the result of a collaboration between Sheet, UOL, O Estado de S. Paulo, Extra, O Globo and G1 to gather and disseminate numbers related to the coronavirus pandemic. The information is collected daily by the consortium of press vehicles with the state Health Secretariats.

In all, 182,371,746 people received at least the first dose of a Covid vaccine in Brazil.

Added to the single doses of Janssen’s vaccine, there are 172,398,506 people with both doses or one dose of Janssen’s vaccine.

Thus, the country already has 84.89% of the population with the 1st dose and 80.25% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of Janssen’s vaccine.

So far, 107,127,299 people have already taken the third dose, and 38,831,798, 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 withdrew information from the air, with the interruption of the disclosure of total cases and deaths.
