by

Brazil registered 64 deaths by Covid and 5,774 cases of the disease, this Sunday (7). With this, the country has lost 609,484 lives and 21,877,828 people infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.

Federal District, Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso do Sul and Tocantins did not update data on deaths and cases.

The Federal District will no longer update its data on weekends and holidays. Espírito Santo had a problem with the information platform.

Moving averages are down from data two weeks ago. It is worth remembering, however, that on Sundays, Mondays and holidays (as happened last week), the pandemic data are lower due to notification delays in the health departments.

The average death rate is now 232 deaths per day, down 31%. And the average number of cases is 9,896 daily infections, down 17%.

Country data, collected up to 8 pm, are the result of collaboration between sheet, 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 by the consortium of press vehicles daily with the state Health Departments.

Covid-19 vaccination data, also collected by the consortium, were updated in 20 states and the Federal District.

Brazil registered 541,997 doses of vaccines against Covid-19, this Sunday. According to data from the state health departments, there were 112,256 first doses and 236,375 second. 11,310 single doses and 182,056 booster doses were also recorded.

In all, 155,812,037 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil — 115,045,336 of them have already received the second dose of the immunizing agent. Added to the single doses of the Janssen vaccine against Covid, there are already 119,586,696 people with a complete vaccination schedule in the country.​

Thus, the country already has 73.04% of the population with the 1st dose and 56.06% of Brazilians with a complete vaccination schedule. Considering only the adult population, the values ​​are, respectively, 96.13% and 73.78%.

Even those who completed the vaccination schedule with two doses must maintain basic care, such as wearing a mask and social distancing, 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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
