Brazil recorded 553 Covid-19 deaths 26,647 cases of the disease this Thursday (29). Thus, the country has reached 159,033 deaths and 5,496,402 people infected with the novel 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 data collected until 8 pm, the average number of deaths in the last seven days is 439, representing a stable situation.
