SP registers 679 new deaths from covid-19 and breaks record in the moving average
With 679 deaths from covid-19 registered in the last 24 hours, a record, the state of São Paulo once again registered a high in the moving average of deaths from the new coronavirus, which rose to 400, another record.
The previous record of deaths from covid-19 recorded in a 24-hour period was last Friday (12), when SP counted 521 deaths. The day that had the highest moving average so far was last Sunday (14), when the state recorded 380 deaths.
In addition to the moving average of deaths, the number of hospitalized with covid-19 also reflects the escalation of the pandemic in SP: there are now 10.7 patients with the virus hospitalized in ICUs (Intensive Care Units) and 14.2 thousand in beds nursing – 24.9 thousand in total, another record.
The occupancy rate for ICU beds throughout the state, according to the Ministry of Health SP, is 90%. In Grande SP, the brand is slightly higher, according to the portfolio: 90.6%.
Vehicles gather for information
In response to the decision of the government of Jair Bolsonaro to restrict access to data on the covid-19 pandemic, the media Twitter, El Estado de S. Paulo, Folha de S.Paulo, O Globo, G1 and Extra formed a consortium to work collaboratively to seek the necessary information directly from the state health departments of the 27 units of the Federation.
The federal government, through the Ministry of Health, should be the natural source of these figures, but the attitudes of the authorities and the president himself during the pandemic cast doubt on the availability of the data and its veracity.
