Brazil recorded 90 deaths from Covid and 7,133 cases of the disease, this Monday (2). As a result, the country has lost 663,657 lives and 30,456,873 people infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.
Ceará did not disclose the data on Monday.
On weekends, Mondays and holidays, pandemic data are usually affected by notification delays at the health secretariats.
The moving averages of deaths and cases have stopped the process of falling from the data of two weeks ago. The average number of deaths has increased by 23% and currently stands at 126 lives lost per day. Despite this, it is worth noting that, in the last week, Rio de Janeiro included 85 deaths recorded in 2020, a figure that still impacts the current moving average. In addition, the Tiradentes holiday can also influence, with delays, the values seen.
The average of cases, in turn, shows an upward oscillation of 4%, always in relation to the data of two weeks ago. Now it is 14,754 a day.
The 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 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.
Regarding vaccination, Brazil recorded 732,544 doses of vaccines against Covid-19 this Monday. According to data from the state health departments, there were 63,943 first doses and 198,767 second doses. 6,336 single doses and 463,498 booster doses were also recorded.
In all, 177,268,663 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil — 159,453,225 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 164,234,669 people with both doses or with one dose of Janssen vaccine.
Thus, the country already has 82.52% of the population with the 1st dose and 76.45% of Brazilians with both doses or with one dose of the Janssen vaccine.
So far, 86,784,508 people have already taken a booster dose, which represents 40.40% of the Brazilian population. Another 1,783,300 took the fourth dose of the vaccine.
The consortium also gathers the record of vaccine doses administered to children. The population aged 5 to 11 years partially immunized (with only the first dose of vaccine received) is 57.71%, totaling 11,830,119. In the same age group, 26.83% (5,499,649) received the second dose or the single dose.
Vaccination data against Covid-19 was affected by the hacker attack on the Ministry of Health system, which took place in December, which led to the lack of updates in several states for long periods of time.
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.
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.
