Over the past weekend, the Brazilian Ministry of Health (MH) granted some interviews to announce changes to its Covid19 portal.
In the last interview, which took place on Monday (June 8th, 2020), their spokespersons made it clear that the update would also include an exchange of the case and death counts.
Instead of disclosing cases and deaths notified each day, the Ministry of Health will disclose cases and deaths that occurred each day.
Due to delays in notification, these two definitions differ substantially.
Despite this, the definition of new cases and deaths has not changed in the portal so far.
In view of this uncertainty as to the real meaning of what is being disclosed, we decided not to present the current data and predictions based on them until the matter is clarified and, more importantly, until the previous standard is recovered precisely.
