Brazil recorded 37511921 Coronavirus Cases since the epidemic began, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In addition, Brazil reported 702116 Coronavirus Deaths. This dataset includes a chart with historical data for Brazil Coronavirus Cases.

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 comprises new and accumulated cases and death episodes for each Brazilian municipality, by epidemiological week.

Criteria for confirmed cases: * Final classification (variable CLASSI_FIN) = 5 * Antigenic test result (variable AN_SARS2) = 1 * RT-PCR test result (variable AN_SARS2) = 1 For death episodes: * confirmed cases that progressed to death (variable EVOLUCAO = 2) * death from other causes (variable EVOLUCAO = 3) Reference date for cases: * symptom onset date (variable DT_SIN_PRI) Reference date for death episodes: * case evolution date (variable DT_EVOLUCA) * for missing dates, the closest date was used: case closing date, ICU discharge date, ICU entry date, testing date, notification date Age groups follow a five-years interval Phase and peak variables were created based on epidemiological weeks.

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: Objective: Estimating the potential number of COVID-19 deaths in Brazil for the coming months. Methods: The study included all confirmed cases of COVID-19 deaths, from the first confirmed death on March 17th to May 15th, 2020. These data were collected from an official Brazilian website of the Ministry of Health. The Boltzmann function was applied to a data simulation for each set of data regarding all states of the country. Results: The model data were well-fitted, with R2 values close to 0.999. Up to May 15th, 14,817 COVID-19 deaths have been confirmed in the country. Amazonas has the highest rate of accumulated cases per 1,000,000 inhabitants (321.14), followed by Ceará (161.63). Rio de Janeiro, Roraima, Amazonas, Pará, and Pernambuco are estimated to experience a substantial increase in the rate of cumulative cases until July 15th. Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraná, Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul, and Santa Catarina will show lower rates per 1,000,000 inhabitants. Conclusion: We estimate a substantial increase in the rate of cumulative cases in Brazil over the next months. The Boltzmann function proved to be a simple tool for epidemiological forecasting that can assist in the planning of measures to contain COVID-19.

New Covid cases per million people in Brazil, March, 2023 The most recent value is 1088 new Covid cases per million people as of March 2023, an increase compared to the previous value of 1069 new Covid cases per million people.

Abstract

The Brazil 2021 COVID-19 Phone Survey was conducted to provide information on how the pandemic had been affecting Brazilian households in 2021. It was inspired by the Latin America and Caribbean High Frequency Phone Surveys and collected information along multiple dimensions relevant to the welfare of the population (e.g. changes in employment and income, coping mechanisms, access to health and education services, gender inequalities, and food insecurity). A total of 2,166 phone interviews were conducted across all Brazilian states between July 26 and October 1, 2021. The survey followed a Random Digit Dialing (RDD) sampling methodology using a dual sampling frame of cellphone and landline numbers. The sampling frame was stratified by type of phone and state. Results are nationally representative for households with a landline or at least one cell phone and of individuals of ages 18 years and above who have an active cell phone number or a landline at home.

Geographic coverage

National coverage

Analysis unit

Households and individuals of 18 years of age and older.

Universe

Households with a landline or in which at least one member has a cell phone, and individuals 18 years of age or above who have an active cell phone number or a landline at home.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

The sample is based on a dual frame of cell phone and landline numbers that was generated through a Random Digit Dialing (RDD) process and consisted of all possible phone numbers under the national phone numbering plan. Numbers were screened through an automated process to identify active numbers and cross-checked with business registries to identify business numbers not eligible for the survey. This method ensures coverage of all landline and cellphone numbers active at the time of the survey. The sampling frame was stratified by type of phone and state.

See Sampling Design and Weighting document for more detail

Mode of data collection

Computer Assisted Telephone Interview [cati]

Research instrument

Available in Portuguese. The questionnaire followed closely the LAC HFPS Questionnaire of Phase II Wave I but had some critical variations.

Response rate

Response rates for landline phones and cell phones were 11.3 percent and 8.5 percent, respectively. Sizes of the samples drawn from the frames were based on the expectation of low response rates for phone surveys.

See Sampling Design and Weighting document for more detail.

The Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak, dubbed COVID-19, is first and foremost a human tragedy, affecting millions of people globally. The contagious Coronavirus, which broke out at the close of 2019, has led to a medical emergency across the world, with the World Health Organization officially declaring the novel Coronavirus a pandemic on March 11, 2020.
