Brazil registered 1,166 new Covid-19 deaths and 41,889 new cases this Tuesday (1st). The country then reaches 122,681 deaths and 3,952,790 infections with the new coronavirus since the beginning of the pandemic.
In addition to the consortium's daily data, Folha also shows the so-called moving average. The statistical resource seeks to give a better view of the disease's evolution, as it attenuates isolated numbers that deviate from the pattern. The moving average is calculated by adding the result of the last seven days, dividing by seven.
According to the data collected until 8 pm, the average number of deaths in the last seven days is 859, maintaining a position of stability in the data, although with high numbers.
Brazil has a rate of about 58.6 deaths per 100 thousand inhabitants. The United States, which has the highest absolute number of deaths, and the United Kingdom, both ahead of Brazil in the pandemic (that is, they started to suffer from the problem before), have 56.5 and 62.6 deaths for every 100 thousand inhabitants, respectively.
