Brazil completes 25 days with average Covid deaths below 200

by

Brazil completed 25 days in a row with a moving average of deaths below 200 deaths per day. Part of that period, however, has data affected by the cyber attack on the Ministry of Health’s systems.

The moving average of deaths is now 105 per day, down 30% from data two weeks ago.

The moving average of cases interrupted the long sequence of falls, in relation to data from the previous two weeks, and now stands at 4,956 infections per day, an increase of 5% (which represents a stable situation).

The country recorded 148 deaths by Covid and 8,356 cases of the disease, this Tuesday (28). With that, since the beginning of the pandemic, Brazil has already lost 618,723 lives and had registered 22,252,231 infected people.

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 also among those affected, in several states, by the attack on the ministry’s website. In any case, the information was at least partially updated in 13 states and the Federal District.

Brazil registered 856,530 doses of vaccines against Covid-19, this Tuesday. According to data from the state health departments, there were 107,425 first doses, 204,244 second doses. In addition, 1,502 booster doses and 543,359 booster doses were recorded.

There was a review of single doses in Minas Gerais (-189).

Altogether, 161,089,958 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil — 138,275,012 of them have already received the second dose of the immunizing agent. Added to the single doses of Janssen’s vaccine against Covid, there are already 142,887,698 people with both doses or one dose of Janssen’s vaccine.​

Thus, the country already has 75.52% of the population with the 1st dose and 66.98% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of Janssen vaccine. Considering only the adult population, the values ​​are, respectively, 99.38% and 88.15%​​.

Even those who received two doses or one dose of 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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
