Brazil recorded 49,459 cases of Covid, this Saturday (15) and 160 deaths. Eight states recorded no deaths.
With updated data, the country has lost 621,007 lives and 22,975,323 people infected since the beginning of the pandemic.
The moving average of positive tests is 68,074 and 147 deaths.
The explosion of Covid cases at the beginning of the year occurs amid the expansion of the omicron in Brazil.
During the month of December, following a hacker attack on the Ministry of Health’s systems, several states reported registration difficulties. Although the Pasta states that the systems were normalized in December, part of the data may be the result of the damming. Even so, the rapid rise in bed occupancy rates for Covid across the country points to the spread and impact of the omni.
The country’s data, collected up to 8 pm, are the result of a collaboration between Folha, UOL, O Estado de S. Paulo, Extra, O Globo and G1 to gather and disseminate figures 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 is affected by the hacker attack on the Ministry of Health system, which took place in December, with several states without update. In any case, the information was at least partially updated in 14 states.
Brazil registered 572,624 doses of vaccines against Covid-19 this Saturday. According to data from the state health departments, there were 37,149 first doses, 343,333 second doses. In addition, 3,212 single doses and 188,930 booster doses were recorded.
In all, 161,905,777 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil — 140,986,347 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 145,623,507 people with both doses or with one dose of Janssen vaccine.
Thus, the country already has 75.37% of the population with the 1st dose and 67.79% of Brazilians with both doses or with one dose of the Janssen vaccine.
Considering only the adult population, the values are, respectively, 100.08% and 90.01%.
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, say experts.
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.
