Brazil recorded 118 deaths from Covid and 6,152 cases of the disease, this Monday (8). The country with this reached 609,602 lost lives and 21,883,980 infectious people.

On Sundays, Mondays and holidays, pandemic data are lower due to notification delays at the health departments.

The moving average of deaths is decreasing and reached 235 deaths per day, a drop of 31% compared to the data of two weeks ago. The average number of cases is now 10,222 daily infections, a situation of stability.

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 24 states and the Federal District.

Brazil registered 1,651,335 doses of vaccines against Covid-19, this Monday. According to data from the state health departments, there were 248,682 first doses and 940,365 second. 30,986 single doses and 431,302 booster doses were also recorded.

In all, 156,060,719 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil —115,985,701 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 120,558,047 people with a complete vaccination schedule in the country.​

Thus, the country already has 73.16% of the population with the 1st dose and 56.52% of Brazilians with a complete vaccination schedule. Considering only the adult population, the values ​​are, respectively, 96.28% and 74.38%.

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
