Brazil recorded 612 deaths by Covid and 14,424 cases of the disease, this Friday (12). With that, the country reaches 610,935 lives lost and 21,940,950 people infected by Sars-CoV-2.
The considerable increase in deaths, compared to previous days, was due to the registration of 414 deaths in São Paulo.
The São Paulo health secretariat stated that the data bring “an accumulation of several epidemiological weeks, which after the changes in the Sivep-flu system of the Ministry of Health had been dammed”. He also claims to have questioned the ministry about having instability or abnormality in the system and that the answer would have been that there would be an update.
The ministry, in turn, states that the system “has not been down, but has presented occasional instabilities that have been resolved daily. Information systems of this type need changes and/or routine corrections, depending on the needs of surveillance responses” .
The moving average of deaths was down 17% from two weeks ago. Variations of up to 15% are taken as a stability scenario. Now, the average is 260 deaths a day.
The moving average of cases is stable and is 11,381 infections per day.
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.
Even those who completed the vaccination schedule with two doses must maintain basic care, such as wearing a mask and social distance, 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.
