Total notifications of the disease went from 23,000 to 57,700 in three weeks, according to a panel created by researchers
Brazil represented 57,713 Cases of Covid-19 In the first three weeks of 2025 – the largest record of cases of the last ten months. The number represents an increase of 151% of the diagnoses of the disease compared to the last three weeks of last month, which amounted to 23,018 infections.
The data were completed by researchers from University of San Paolo (USP) and from Paulista State University (UNESP)according to the information of the Ministry of Health and the platform SP Covid-19 info trackerResearch project that studies the daily advancement of the disease.
The peak of new cases of the last ten months has occurred between 5 and 11 January, when just over 23,500 infections were communicated to the health authorities. As a comparison, from 29 December to 4 January, about 16,000 cases had been accounted for and, between 22 and 28 December, 6,090.
Since March 2024, the numbers have not been observed as well as those recorded in January 2025, states the mathematician Wallace Casaca, professor at Unesp and coordinator of info tracker. “This increase has come since November, but he had a strong drop, so in the last ten days of 2024 he started to take shape, exploding in new cases in 2025.?
Casaca recalls that the first epidemiological week of March 2024 recorded 53,800 cases. The second, 35.6 thousand. From the third, the total dropped to 14 thousand. Since then, the numbers have oscillated, with falls and climbs, but rarely exceeded 10,000 cases.
“The updated data confirm what was once only a perception in people’s daily life this year: many people complain about the symptoms of the influence which, largely, actually correspond to the cases of Covid-19”, he says.
According to the jacket, the holidays collaborated with the discharge of records, but the numbers are increasingly expected. “People end up contaminating and this is propagated. It is expected to have an increase, but the extent of the increase is surprising by 2025?
The infectoologist Julio Croda, a member of the Brazilian Society of Infectology (SBI), makes some warnings. The first is that it is not possible to understand the real framework of Covid-19 in Brazil only by observing the number of cases because most of them have not been informed. In addition, data can also be a sign of increasing tests for disease detection.
In relation to serious cases, the latest infogipe newsletter from FiocruzReferring to the week from 12 to 18 January, a growth of the serious acute respiratory respiratory syndrome (SRAG) associated with Covid-19 in the northern and North States.
“Growth occurs mainly in the elderly population, but in some states we have also observed an increase in serious cases in the population of young people and adults,” says Tatiana Portella, a researcher of Infogipe, in the newsletter video.
