Brazil recorded 45,717 cases of Covid, this Thursday (6). There were also 171 deaths from the disease. As a result, the country reached 619,730 deaths and 22,395,322 people infected since the beginning of the pandemic.
Piauí, with 9,660 infections, was the state with the highest number of cases. The state says that only this Thursday they returned to access the SUS system. With this, the value for Piauí takes into account the cases dammed since the beginning of December.
The damming of data after a cyberattack in December could be one of the factors behind recent rises in Covid case numbers. But, at the same time, there has been a de facto increase in infections by Sars-CoV-2 after the holiday season, which was already being pointed out as a possibility by experts.
Brazil is still witnessing the expansion of the omicron, which is extremely more contagious than other variants of Covid. In other countries, the arrival of the variant led to record infections. Because of the omicron, world cases are also breaking records.
The moving average of cases jumped to 17,100, up 477% from two weeks ago. In the fourth, the average was 12,391.
The average number of deaths now stands at 101 per day, which keeps it stable, that is, without variations greater than 15% in relation to the two-week figure.
The 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 publish the numbers related to the new coronavirus pandemic. The information is collected by the consortium of press vehicles daily with the state Health Departments.
Vaccination data against Covid-19 are also among those affected, with several states without updates, by the attack on the ministry’s page. In any case, the information was at least partially updated in 13 states and the Federal District.
Brazil registered 773,452 doses of vaccines against Covid-19, this Thursday. According to data from the state health departments, there were 60,303 first doses, 143,841 second doses. In addition, 1,758 single doses and 567,550 booster doses were recorded.
Amazonas made a small revision (-8) of the single doses applied. Minas Gerais also reviewed first doses (-2,848) and single doses (-217).
In all, 161,560,434 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil — 139,334,903 of them have already received the second dose of the immunizer. Added to the single doses of Janssen’s vaccine against Covid, there are already 143,955,901 people with both doses or with one dose of Janssen vaccine.
Thus, the country already has 75.74% of the population with the 1st dose and 67.48% of Brazilians with both doses or with one dose of the Janssen vaccine. Considering only the adult population, the values are, respectively, 99.67% and 88.81%.
Even those who received both doses or one dose of the Janssen vaccine should maintain basic care, such as wearing a mask and social distancing, experts say.
The initiative by the consortium of press vehicles occurred in response to the attitudes of the Jair Bolsonaro government (without a party), which threatened to withhold data, delayed newsletters about the disease and took information from the air, with the interruption of the disclosure of the totals of cases and deaths. In addition, the government has released conflicting data.
