State and municipal health departments registered 44,039 new cases of covid-19 in the last 24 hours across the country. According to the organs, 129 deaths due to complications associated with the disease were also confirmed in the same period. 
The data are in the Ministry of Health update released this Tuesday (29), with the exception of information from Mato Grosso do Sul and Tocantins, which were not updated by the respective state governments, according to the federal folder itself, which systematizes the records. The number of new infected is more than two and a half times the number found a week ago.
With the new information, the total number of people infected by the new coronavirus during the pandemic is 35,232,625.
The number of cases in follow-up of covid-19 stands at 303,743. The term is given to designate cases notified in the last 14 days that were not discharged and did not result in death.
With today’s numbers, the total number of deaths has reached 689,665 since the beginning of the pandemic. There are still 3,202 deaths under investigation. The occurrences involve cases in which the patient died, but the investigation of whether the cause was covid-19 still requires additional tests and procedures.
So far, 34,239,217 people have recovered from covid-19. The number corresponds to 97.2% of those infected since the beginning of the pandemic.
On Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays, the number recorded daily tends to be smaller due to the difficulty of feeding the databases by the municipal and state health departments. On Tuesdays, the amount is generally higher due to the update of cases accumulated over the weekends.
