247 Calculations by Imperial College, one of the leading institutions monitoring the coronavirus worldwide, showed that the rate recorded this week is 1,06 in Brazil, above the 1,05 of the previous week. This number means that 100 infected people transmit the virus to another 106. According to projections from the institution, the number of Covid-19 cases in the country could be three times higher than reported. Consequently, the total number of infected people in Brazil could exceed 3 million.
Currently, Brazil has 1,1 million cases and 52,6 deaths caused by the disease. This data is available on the federal government website that provides updates on Covid-19 statistics.
On Tuesday (23), Brazil registered 1.374 more deaths from coronavirus and 39.436 new confirmed cases.
