RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – With admittedly deficient data, the Ministry of Health released the Covid-19 figures in the country in the past 24 hours, with 5,748,275 total cases and 544 new deaths, totaling 163,373 fatalities since the beginning of the pandemic. A total of 5,064,344 patients have recovered.
According to the portfolio, the state of Minas Gerais has not updated its figures on infections and deaths for four days. As a result, the numbers presented yesterday do not reflect the situation in the whole country, since Minas Gerais is one of the states with the highest number of cases and deaths.
Covid-19 in the states
São Paulo has reached 1,150,872 cases. Despite not updating its number of cases for four days, Minas Gerais comes second, with the same 374,651 cases recorded on November 7th. Bahia (367,669) and Rio de Janeiro (320,598) come next.
Acre accounts for the lowest number of cases (32,113). Next are Amapá (53,790) and Roraima (59,586).
São Paulo also leads the number of deaths, with 39,907. Rio de Janeiro (20,970) and Ceará (9,418) come next. However, when the data from Minas Gerais, currently at 9,204 deaths, are updated, the state may reappear among the first three.
The states with the least deaths are Roraima (701), Acre (705), and Amapá (770).
