Brazil recorded 120,549 cases of Covid-19 and 854 deaths from the disease in the last 24 hours. The numbers were released by the National Council of Health Secretaries (Conass).
As a result, there was a drop in both the moving average of cases and deaths — which reached 126,062 and 840, respectively.
The moving average of cases, which fell for the sixth day in a row, is the lowest since January 21, when the country recorded 117,797.
Moving averages consider the average of the last seven days and serve to help reduce possible underreporting on weekends.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the country has totaled 27,659,052 cases of Covid-19 and 639,689 deaths from the disease.

The foundation reported that it already has the first batch of the immunizer ready, which had its quality control approved on Monday (14) and is now awaiting the agenda with the Ministry of Health to deliver. Read more.
