Brazil completed, this Thursday (22), 32 consecutive days with growth in the moving average of deaths from Covid, in relation to the data of two weeks before. This Wednesday, 165 deaths from the disease and 43,392 cases were recorded.

Growth is considered as a variation of more than 15%, always in relation to the average of two weeks before.

The moving average of deaths reached 134 per day, an increase of 33% compared to two weeks ago. On Tuesday, the average reached the highest value (148) since August 25 of this year.

The average number of cases has also been growing – for 42 days in a row – and is now 36,670, an increase of 21% compared to the data of two weeks before.

With this Wednesday’s data, the country reached 692,572 lives lost and 36,080,427 people infected by Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.

In all, 182,411,450 people received at least the first dose of a Covid vaccine in Brazil.

Added to the single doses of Janssen’s vaccine, there are 172,445,450 people with both doses or one dose of Janssen’s vaccine.

Thus, the country already has 84.91% of the population with the 1st dose and 80.27% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of Janssen’s vaccine.

So far, 107,201,118 people have already taken the third dose, and 38,970,045, the fourth.

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.

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.
