Brazil recorded 24 deaths from Covid and 5,992 cases of the disease this Saturday (24). With that, the country reached 692,878 lives lost and 36,156,834 people infected by Sars-CoV-2.

On weekends and holidays, in addition to notification delays, several states do not update pandemic data, which explains the lower numbers compared to previous days.

Moving averages of deaths and cases continue to grow, compared to data from two weeks ago. The average number of deaths is now 150 per day, an increase of 47%. The average number of cases is 36,344, an increase of 23%.

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 April of this year, the consortium of press vehicles stopped updating information on vaccination on weekends and holidays. The measure seeks to avoid inaccuracies in the numbers reported to the reader.

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.
