With today’s numbers, the total number of deaths has reached 684,425 since the beginning of the pandemic. There are still 3,172 deaths under investigation. The occurrences involve cases in which the patient died, but the investigation if the cause was covid-19 still requires additional tests and procedures.
So far, 33,546,726 people have recovered from Covid-19. The number corresponds to just over 97% of those infected during the pandemic.
On Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays, the daily total tends to be lower due to the difficulty of feeding the databases by the municipal and state health departments. On Tuesdays, the number, in general, is higher due to the update of cases accumulated on weekends.
