The state of Rio registered 97 deaths and 1,693 new cases of coronavirus in the last 24 hours, according to data published this Tuesday by the state government. In total, there are 18,388 victims and 263,699 infected by Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic in March. The occupancy of ICU beds in the municipal network reached 91.6%, a figure even higher than that registered in recent days.
The moving average is now 84 deaths and 1,420 cases per day in Rio de Janeiro. There is a 3% growth in the moving average of deaths compared to two weeks ago, which, being below 15%, indicates a scenario of stability in the contagion of the disease.
The 7-day moving average averages between the number of deaths for the day and the previous six. It is compared with the average of two weeks ago to indicate if there is an uptrend, stability or a downtrend. The calculation is a statistical resource to be able to see the trend of the data, drowning out the “noise” caused on weekends, when the notification of deaths is reduced due to the shortage of shift employees.
The data analysis was carried out from the survey of the press vehicle consortium formed by O GLOBO, Extra, G1, Folha de S.Paulo, UOL and O Estado de S. Paulo, which collects information from the health departments state.
