On Thursday (18), Brazil registered the fifth day with the highest number of deaths caused by covid-19 in the entire pandemic. It is also the third largest record in 2021.
This year, the day with the most deaths from covid-19 was registered on February 11: 1,452 in a 24-hour interval. On January 28, 1,439 new deaths were recorded between one day and the next. The record occurred on July 29, with 1,554. This does not indicate when the deaths actually occurred, but rather the date they appeared on official balance sheets.
In the last 24 hours, 1,432 new deaths caused by the disease were recorded. Today, the country has also passed the mark of 10 million confirmed cases. The survey is the consortium of press vehicles of which Twitter it is part, according to data provided by state health departments.
This is the third day in a row with more than a thousand new deaths recorded in a 24-hour interval. Since the start of the pandemic, the disease has caused 243,610 victims.
In the last 24 hours, there were 49,368 positive covid-19 diagnoses, increasing the total number of infected people in the country to 10,028,644 since the start of the pandemic.
According to the federal government, there were 51,879 people whose diagnosis was confirmed between yesterday and today, bringing the total number of infected since the beginning of the pandemic in the Ministry of Health accounts to 10,030,626.
According to the folder, 1,367 new deaths from the disease were registered in the country in the last 24 hours. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the total number of victims has risen to 243,457. Additionally, 8,995,246 people recovered from the disease, with another 791,923 being followed.
Third country in number of infected
According to Johns Hopkins University, a world reference in studies on covid-19, Brazil is the third country with the highest number of confirmed cases of the disease. The United States and India (with 27,854,389 and 10,950,201 infected, respectively) appear ahead. The figures were released today.
For the twenty-ninth consecutive day, the country had an average of deaths from covid-19 of more than a thousand. In the past seven days, there were an average of 1,030 deaths caused by the disease. Brazil is approaching the longest period with an average covid-19 deaths of more than a thousand: there were 31 consecutive days, between July 3 and August 2, during the height of the first wave of the pandemic.
On Sunday (14), Brazil registered the worst daily average of deaths since the beginning of the pandemic: 1,105. Previously, the previous highest mark had been verified on July 25 (1,097).
The Northeast is the only region in acceleration
The average of the last seven days is considered by experts as the best way to observe the covid-19 scenario. On weekends and holidays, for example, the figures tend to drop due to the lesser availability of health teams to update the data. The average of the last seven days is one way to mitigate these distortions.
To define whether the scenario is one of acceleration, stability or decline, the variation is calculated during the 14-day period.
Despite the figures, the scenario in Brazil is considered stable. In the last 14 days, the daily average of deaths fluctuated by -2%.
The Northeast is the only region that showed an acceleration in the death rate: 27%. The others are stable: Midwest (15%), North (-11%), Southeast (-10%) and South (4%).
There are eleven states with an accelerated scenario, eleven and the Federal District stable and only four falling.

Southeast region
- Espírito Santo: stable (-8%)
- Minas Gerais: stable (0%)
- Rio de Janeiro: decrease (-24%)

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.
