Health data
According to the federal government, in Brazil there have been 279 new deaths from covid-19 in the last 24 hours, and since the start of the pandemic, the total number of deaths from the disease has reached 162,015.

Thirteen states and DF falling
Thirteen states and the Federal District showed a two-week variation in the moving average, while seven showed stability. Five showed an increase in the moving average: Ceará (+ 20%), Pernambuco (+ 65%), Rio Grande do Norte (+ 109%), Rondônia (+ 38%) and Santa Catarina (+ 36%). However, the latter is part of the states that did not release data today.
Among the regions, the Midwest (-31%), the North (-31%) and the Southeast (-24%) were the regions where the variation of the moving average of deaths decreased. The others remained stable: Northeast (7%) and South (-13%).
To measure the situation of deaths from covid-19, experts indicate using the moving average of deaths, which calculates the average of records observed in the last seven days. The operation is the most suitable to observe the trend of the statistics, since it balances the abrupt variations of the numbers throughout the week.
The media consortium adopted this period to verify fluctuations in the moving average. We can speak of a fall in the figures when the decrease is greater than 15% if it is verified in the last 14 days, in this case, the period of the last two weeks. If the numbers rise more than 15%, the epidemic accelerates. Intermediate values indicate stability.

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, 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.
