Brazil completed 14 days of records in moving averages of Covid cases. The country recorded, this Monday (31), 102,616 infections and 442 deaths from Covid. With that, the moving average of infected people reached 188,451, an increase of 125% compared to the data of two weeks ago.
The country now has 627,365 lives lost to Covid and 25,454,105 people infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.
The moving average of deaths also continues to grow. She is now 565 deaths a day, an increase of 205%.
On Mondays, Covid data is lower, due to notification delays in the health secretariats.
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 disclose 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 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 21 states.
The consortium of press vehicles recently updated the Brazilian population numbers used to calculate the percentage of people vaccinated in the country. Now, the data used are the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) projection for 2022. All numbers are now calculated according to these values, including last year’s. Therefore, the percentages of people vaccinated may differ from the previously published figures.
Brazil registered 1,524,769 doses of vaccines against Covid-19, this Monday. According to data from the state health departments, there were 350,921 first doses and 410,753 second doses. 771,478 booster shots were also recorded.
Single doses had negative data (-8,383), due to revisions in Ceará (-9,752) and Acre (-309).
In all, 165,051,994 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil — 144,848,551 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 149,909,574 people with both doses or with one dose of Janssen vaccine.
Thus, the country already has 76.83% of the population with the 1st dose and 69.78% of Brazilians with both doses or with one dose of the Janssen vaccine. Considering only the adult population, the values are, respectively, 102.03% and 92.67%.
The consortium also started recording the doses of vaccines given to children. The population aged 5 to 11 years partially immunized (with only the first dose of vaccine received) is 14.89%.
Considering the entire population over 5 years of age, 82.46% received one dose and 74.90% received two doses or Janssen’s single dose vaccine.
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 of the consortium of press vehicles occurred in response to the attitudes of the Jair Bolsonaro (PL) government, 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.
