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.

As of September 21, 2023, São Paulo was the Brazilian state where the majority of fatal COVID-19 cases occurred, with approximately 180,887 deaths recorded as of that day. Rio de Janeiro trailed in second, registering around 77,344 fatal cases due to the disease. As of August 2, 2023, the number of deaths from COVID-19 in Brazil reached around 704,659 people.

Brazil is the Latin American country affected the most by the COVID-19 pandemic. As of May 2025, the country had reported around 38 million cases. It was followed by Argentina, with approximately ten million confirmed cases of COVID-19. In total, the region had registered more than 83 million diagnosed patients, as well as a growing number of fatal COVID-19 cases. The research marathon Normally, the development of vaccines takes years of research and testing until options are available to the general public. However, with an alarming and threatening situation as that of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists quickly got on board in a vaccine marathon to develop a safe and effective way to prevent and control the spread of the virus in record time. Over two years after the first cases were reported, the world had around 1,521 drugs and vaccines targeting the COVID-19 disease. As of June 2022, a total of 39 candidates were already launched and countries all over the world had started negotiations and acquisition of the vaccine, along with immunization campaigns. COVID vaccination rates in Latin America As immunization against the spread of the disease continues to progress, regional disparities in vaccination coverage persist. While Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico were among the Latin American nations with the most COVID-19 cases, those that administered the highest number of COVID-19 doses per 100 population are Cuba, Chile, and Peru. Leading the vaccination coverage in the region is the Caribbean nation, with more than 406 COVID-19 vaccines administered per every 100 inhabitants as of January 5, 2024.For further information about the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.

City level open access data from 26 States and the Federal District and from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) [20], the Department of Informatics of Brazilian Public Health System – DATASUS, Ministry of Health, the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) and from Brazil.io. Data from all 5,570 cities in Brazil were included in the analysis. COVID-19 data included cases and deaths reported between February 26th, 2020 and February 4th, 2021. The following outcomes were computed: a) days between the first case in Brazil until the first case in the city; b) days between the first case in the city until the day when 1,000 cases were reported; and c) days between the first death in city until the day when 50 deaths inhabitants were reported. Descriptive analyses were performed on the following: proportion of cities reaching 1,000 cases; number of cases at three, six, nine and 12 months after first case; cities reporting at least one COVID-19 related death; number of COVID-19 related deaths at three, six, nine and 12 months after first death in the country. All incidence data is adjusted for 100,000 inhabitants.The following covariates were included: a) geographic region where the city is located (Midwest, North, Northeast, Southeast and South), metropolitan city (no/yes) and urban or rural; b) social and environmental city characteristics [total area (Km2), urban area (Km2), population size (inhabitants), population living within urban area (inhabitants), population older than 60 years (%), indigenous population (%), black population (%), illiterate older than 25 years (%) and city in extreme poverty (no/yes)]; c) housing conditions [household with density >2 per dormitory (%), household with garbage collection (%), household connected to the water supply system (%) and household connected to the sewer system (%)]; d) job characteristics [commerce (%) and informal workers (%)]; e) socioeconomic and inequalities characteristics [GINI index; income per capita; poor or extremely poor (%) and households in informal urban settlements (%)]; f) health services access and coverage [number of National Public Health System (SUS) physicians per inhabitants (100,000 inhabitants), number of SUS nurses per inhabitants (100,000 inhabitants), number of intensive care units or ICU per inhabitants (100,000 inhabitants). All health services access and coverage variables were standardized using z-scores, combined into one single variable categorized into tertiles.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Five months after the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Brazil, the country has the second highest number of cases in the world. Without any scientifically proven drug or vaccine available combined with COVID-19’s high transmissivity, slowing down the spread of the infection is a challenge. In an attempt to save the economy, the Brazilian government is slowly beginning to allow non-essential services to reopen for in-person customers. METHODS: In this study, we analyze, based on data analysis and statistics, how other countries evolve and under which conditions they decided to resume normal activity. In addition, due to the heterogeneity of Brazil, we explore Brazilian data of COVID-19 from the State Health Secretaries to evaluate the situation of the pandemic within the states. RESULTS: Results show that while other countries have flattened their curves and present low numbers of active cases, Brazil continues to see an increase in COVID-19 patients. Furthermore, a number of important states are easing restrictions despite a high percentage of confirmed cases. CONCLUSIONS: All analyses show that Brazil is not ready for reopening, and the premature easing of restrictions may increase the number of COVID-19-related deaths and cause the collapse of the public health system.

Abstract: The timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic began on December 31, 2019, in China, with SARS-CoV-2 identified as the etiological agent. This article aims to describe the COVID-19 epidemic’s spatial and temporal dynamics in the first hundred days in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil. We present the evolution in cases and deaths according to epidemiological weeks. We analyzed the series of accumulated daily confirmed COVID-19 cases, with projections for the subsequent 15 days, using the JoinPoint app. This software allows identifying turning points, testing their statistical significance. We also analyze the trend in the spread of COVID-19 to the interior of the state, considering the percent distribution of cases in the state capital, Recife, municipalities in Greater Metropolitan Recife, and the state’s interior, by sets of three weeks, constructing thematic maps. The first hundred days of the COVID-19 epidemic resulted in 52,213 cases and 4,235 deaths from March 12, or epidemiological week 11, until June 20, 2020 (epidemiological week 25). The peak in the epidemic curve occurred in epidemiological week 21 (May 23), followed by deceleration in the number of cases. We initially detected the spread of cases from the city center to the periphery of the state capital and Metropolitan Area, followed by rapid spread to the state’s interior. There was a decrease in the mean daily growth starting in April, but with an average threshold of more than 6,000 weekly cases of COVID-19. At the end of the period, the state’s case series indicates the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 circulation and community transmission. Finally, paraphrasing Gabriel Garcia Marques in One Hundred Years of Solitude, we ask whether we are facing “a pause in the storm or a sign of redoubled rain”.

The data of COVID-2019 in Brazil from February 15, 2020 to April 30, 2020 were collected from the Worldometer (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/)

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has been most severe in the poorest regions of Brazil, such as the states of the Northeast Region. The lack of national policies for pandemic control forced state and municipal authorities to implement public health measures. The aim of this study is to show the effect of these measures on the epidemic. The highest incidence of COVID-19 among the nine states in the Northeast was recorded in Sergipe, Paraíba and Ceará. Piauí, Paraíba and Ceará were the states that most tested. Factors associated with transmission included the high proportion of people in informal work. States with international airports played an important role in the entry of the virus and the initial spread, especially Ceará. All states applied social distancing measures, banned public events and closed schools. The response was a significant increase in social distancing, especially in Ceará and Pernambuco, a decline in the reproduction rate (Rt), and a separation of the curve of observed cases versus expected cases if the non-pharmacological interventions had not been implemented in all states. Poverty, inequality, and the high rates of informal work provide clues to the intensity of COVID-19 in the region. On the other hand, the measures taken early by the governments mitigated the effects of the pandemic.

This dataset contains information on the strictness of social distancing measures against COVID-19 in the 27 Brazilian states, covering the period from 11th Mar 2020 to 10th Nov 2020 (the whole first wave of the pandemic in Brazil). There are data on individual social distancing measures, divided into six types of restrictions: 1) gatherings, sports, cultural and religious events; 2) non-essential shops; 3) bars and restaurants; 4) non-essential industry; 5) schools; and 6) public transportation. There are also data on mandaotry masking and control variables. These data can be used to replicate findings of the article 'Effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions on social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic: Evidence from the 27 Brazilian states', to be published in PLOS One.
