RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The State of São Paulo on Monday, April 5, recorded 1,389 deaths from Covid-19 in its bulletin over the past 24 hours.
It is the highest daily death toll since the beginning of the pandemic, but the government points out that the bulletin presents accumulated data since last Friday’s holiday, a period during which fewer deaths are usually recorded, due to limitations in the staff responsible for the work.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, says the São Paulo state government, 78,554 deaths and 2,554,841 cases of infection have been registered in the state.
In the last 24 hours, 22,794 more infections were reported. Until Monday, there were 29,510 hospitalized patients, 12,963 of them in intensive care beds.
ICU bed occupancy rates are 90.7% in the state and 90.6% in Greater São Paulo
