Brazil registers 250 deaths and more than 35,800 cases of Covid in 24 hours

Brazil recorded 250 deaths and 35,856 cases of Covid this Tuesday (27). With that, the country reached 36,238,042 cases and 693,267 lives lost by the coronavirus since the beginning of the pandemic.

The moving average of deaths is now 151 per day, an increase of 32% compared to two weeks ago. The average number of cases is 35,060, a growth of 6% over the same period.

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

In all, 182,556,174 people received at least the first dose of a Covid vaccine in Brazil. Added to the single doses of Janssen’s vaccine, there are 172,854,624 people with both doses or one dose of Janssen’s vaccine.

Thus, the country already has 84.98% of the population with the 1st dose and 80.46% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of Janssen’s vaccine.

So far, 107,288,756 people have taken the third dose, and 39,076,793, the fourth.

With regard to children, 14,326,539 first doses (54.22%) were applied in the age group of 3 to 11 years and 9,928,015 second doses (37.57%).

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.
