The number of infections, meanwhile, reached 27,814,693 positives after 3,838 new cases were notified in the last day, the lowest number of positives recorded in a single day, since April 26, 2020 when the country added 3,379 cases.

The figures for this Monday are below the averages because the reduction in personnel processing the data on weekends tends to decrease the numbers on Sundays and Mondays since two of the 27 states of the country did not provide data.

The numbers usually normalize on Tuesdays, but this week the data will be postponed, since tomorrow the day of the deceased is commemorated throughout the nation.

Brazil closed October with the lowest average number of deaths (303 deaths per day) since April 27, 2020, when the average number of deaths from covid-19 was 281 victims.

It was also the month with the fewest deaths (11,060) since April last year, when 5,804 deaths were recorded.

The reduction in fatalities and infections by the virus that Brazil has been registering since June is a reality that both experts and the Government have attributed to the advances in the vaccination campaign.

In this country of more than 213 million inhabitants, about 73% of its population has already received the first dose of the vaccine and more than 55% have the complete immunization schedule.
