According to the survey, there were 20,352 new cases of covid-19 across the country from yesterday to today, with a total of 5,652,857 positive diagnoses for the new coronavirus since the start of the pandemic. There were an average of 341 deaths in the last seven days.
Among the regions, the Midwest (-34%), the North (-33%) and the Southeast (-40%) were the regions in which the variation of the moving average of deaths decreased. The others remained stable: Northeast (3%) and South (-10%).
Twelve states and the Federal District also showed a decrease in the variation, while eight had stability. Amapá, Roraima and São Paulo have not published an update.
Amapá, Roraima and São Paulo did not release data until 8 pm today. Amapá is in its fourth consecutive day with no new data due to the blackout in the state.
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.
Health data
There were 254 new deaths from covid-19 in Brazil in the last 24 hours, according to data published today by the Ministry of Health. Since the start of the pandemic, the total number of deaths from the disease has reached 162,269.

The Ministry has faced problems entering data on its platform. Yesterday, the folder announced that it suffered incidents on the page that are expected to impact this weekend.
“The Ministry of Health is reviewing all the security levels of the SUS Information systems, which may cause intermittence in the systems and in the dissemination of health information during the weekend, with a forecast of ending next Sunday (08 / 11) “, reported yesterday. The online platform has not been updated since 4.
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.
