With 381 new deaths from covid-19 recorded in the last 24 hours, the total number of victims of the disease reached 654,993 in Brazil this Saturday, 12. The moving average of deaths, which eliminates distortions between working days and weekends, stands at 429. This is the second consecutive day that the number is below 500. However, the average is still high compared to what was seen in the first weeks of January.
There were also 47,796 new cases of coronavirus infections reported this Saturday. The moving average of cases stood at 45,749. Compared to two weeks ago, there was a drop of just over 45%. The value has been below 50,000 for three days. The total number of positive diagnoses stands at 29.35 million.
The daily data on the pandemic in Brazil are from the consortium of press vehicles formed by Estadão, G1, The Globe, Extra, Folha and UOL in partnership with 27 state health departments, in a balance sheet released at 8 pm. According to government figures, 27.67 million people have recovered from Covid-19.
The balance of deaths and cases is the result of the partnership between the six media that started to work, since June 8, 2020, in a collaborative way to gather the necessary information in the 26 states and the Federal District. The unprecedented initiative is a response to the Bolsonaro government’s decision to restrict access to data on the pandemic, but was maintained after government records continued to be released.
