Brazil’s Health Ministry provides cumulative Covid-19 data after criticism
The ministry on Monday reverted to providing cumulative data on Covid-19 cases and deaths after saying over the weekend that it would no longer provide comprehensive data.
However, the ministry said the methodology and data would only be available on the website on Tuesday.
On Saturday, an official Covid-19 tracker from the Brazilian Health Ministry began showing only data on new cases and deaths recorded in the past 24 hours, eliminating running cumulative totals of virus deaths and cases that had previously appeared on the same page. The government faced widespread backlash for its decision. CNN
