Brazil recorded 132,254 cases of Covid, this Tuesday (18). As a result, the moving average reached 83,630 infections per day.
The country also recorded 317 deaths, with a moving average of 185 daily deaths. Brazil thus reaches 621,578 lives lost and 23,215,551 people infected since the beginning of the pandemic.
Over two weeks, the moving average of cases increased by 747% and that of deaths by 93%.
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 figures related to the 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 16 states.
The numbers of recorded applied doses have grown substantially due, in particular, to the return of multi-state update.
Brazil registered 899,014 doses of vaccines against Covid-19, this Tuesday. According to data from the state health departments, there were 54,513 first doses, 347,505 second doses. In addition, 3,079 single doses and 493,917 booster doses were recorded.
In all, 162,265,199 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil — 142,553,109 of them have already received the second dose of the immunizer. Added to the single doses of Janssen’s Covid vaccine, there are already 147,658,806 people with both doses or one dose of Janssen vaccine.
Thus, the country already has 75.53% of the population with the 1st dose and 68.73% of Brazilians with both doses or with one dose of the Janssen vaccine. Considering only the adult population, the values are, respectively, 100.30% and 91.27%.
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.
