COVID-19 was first detected in Brazil on March 1, 2020, making it the first Latin American country to report a case of the novel coronavirus. Since then, the number of infections has risen drastically, reaching approximately 38 million cases by May 11, 2025. Meanwhile, the first local death due to the disease was reported in March 19, 2020. Four years later, the number of fatal cases had surpassed 700,000. The highest COVID-19 death toll in Latin America With a population of more than 211 million inhabitants as of 2023, Brazil is the most populated country in Latin America. This nation is also among the most affected by COVID-19 in number of deaths, not only within the Latin American region, but also worldwide, just behind the United States. These figures have raised a debate on how the Brazilian government has dealt with the pandemic. In fact, according to a study carried out in May 2021, more than half of Brazilians surveyed disapproved of the way in which former president Jair Bolsonaro had been dealing with the health crisis. In comparison, a third of respondents had a similar opinion about the Ministry of Health. Brazil’s COVID-19 vaccination campaign rollout Brazil’s vaccination campaign started at the beginning of 2021, when a nurse from São Paulo became the first person in the country to get vaccinated against the disease. A few years later, roughly 88 percent of the Brazilian population had received at least one vaccine dose, while around 81 percent had already completed the basic immunization scheme. With more than 485.2 million vaccines administered as of March 2023, Brazil was the fourth country with the most administered doses of the COVID-19 vaccine globally, after China, India, and the United States.Find the most up-to-date information about the coronavirus pandemic in the world under Statista’s COVID-19 facts and figures site.

This dataset was used as part project - Evaluating Effects of Social Inequalities on the COVID-19 Pandemic in Brazil. Maria Yury Ichihara and colleagues at the Centre for Data and Knowledge Integration for Health (Cidacs) at Fiocruz in Brazil created a social disparities index to measure inequalities relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as unequal access to healthcare, to identify regions that are more vulnerable to infection and to better focus prevention efforts.

In Brazil, markers of inequality are associated with COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. They developed the index with available COVID-19 surveillance data, hosted on the Cidacs platform, and built a public data visualisation dashboard to share the index and patterns of COVID-19 incidence and mortality with the broader community. This enabled health managers and policymakers to monitor the pandemic situation in the most vulnerable populations and target social and health interventions.

Data was processed with R package EpiEstim (methodology in the associated preprint). Briefly, instantaneous R was estimated within a 5 day time window. Prior mean and standard deviation values for R were set at 3 and 1. Serial interval was estimated using a parametric distribution with uncertainty (offset gamma). We compared the results at two time points (day 7 and day 21 after the first case was registered at each region) from different brazillian states in order to make inferences about the epidemic dynamics.

Abstract Coronavirus is associated with several infectious diseases that cause outbreaks in humans, such as SARS in 2002-2003 and MERS in 2012. In December 2019, COVID-19, promoted by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, was first reported in Wuhan (China) as a new coronavirus disease. This outbreak quickly reached a pandemic status, affecting at least 185 countries and territories to date on all continents. The first case of COVID-19 reported in São Paulo city (Brazil) occurred in February 26th. Days later, 182 suspected cases in 16 states were being monitored. In May 30th, 514,849 cases and 29,314 deaths were confirmed in Brazil comprising all 26 states and Federal District. The primary measure in order to contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2 involved social isolation. At that time there were not enough diagnostic tests to identify infected individuals and data were strongly associated with sub notifications. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of this measure largely depends on the individual’s social responsibility. This measure has a severe economic and social impact, as in other countries. In this review, we present an overview and scientific perspectives of the evolution of COVID-19 from Brazilian databases in which climate and economic situations differ from China, European countries, and the USA.

In April 2021, Brazil reached a new record of deaths due to COVID-19 in a day, with more than 4,200 thousand fatalities reported within 24 hours. That same month, the country's gross domestic product (GDP) was expected to increase by 3.17 percent during the year, down from a growth of nearly 3.5 percent forecast two months earlier. Since then, expectations have improved, with a forecast growth of 5.27 percent as of the third week of July.By December 2020, Brazil's GDP was forecast to decrease by 4.4 percent during 2020, an improvement in comparison to the 6.5 percent decrease forecast by the beginning of July. This figure, which had remained stable at a 2.3 percent forecast growth during the first months of the year, decreased for five consecutive months amidst the outbreak of COVID-19 in Brazil.
