Moving average of Covid deaths rises for the 2nd day in a row and reaches 26% in Brazil

Brazil recorded 67 deaths from Covid and 14,457 cases of the disease, this Saturday (30). With this, the country reaches 663,551 deaths and 30,443,597 registered cases of Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic.

The moving average of deaths in Brazil rose by 26% and that of cases by 2%, compared to the data of two weeks ago. Despite the increase, nine states did not record any deaths in the last 24 hours and São Paulo was the state with the highest number of deaths from Covid-19 with 30 deaths.

The statistical feature that seeks to smooth out variations in data, such as those that usually happen on weekends and holidays, is calculated by adding the deaths in the last seven days and dividing the result by seven.

The country data, collected up to 8 pm, are the result of collaboration between SheetUOL, 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.

The consortium of press vehicles stopped updating the numbers of vaccinated against Covid-19 on weekends and holidays. On business days, the data will be updated normally. The measure aims to avoid inaccuracies in the numbers provided to the reader.

The change, which debuted on Friday (15), is due to problems in the consolidation of vaccination data by state departments. Seven states no longer update the total number of vaccinated on weekends and holidays, and even those that do sometimes report outdated numbers, which do not correspond to reality and are usually corrected in the following days.

There is no change in the balance of cases and deaths from the coronavirus, which will continue to be published by the vehicles every day, at 20 pm.
