Most cases are reported from the Southeastern region which includes the states of Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Espirito Santo, and Minas Gerais, with the epicentre in Minas Gerais.
Taking into account data provided in the past weeks, the number of suspected cases increased in the past weeks (with a decrease the previous weeks) concomitant with an increase in discarded and confirmed cases, indicating that testing of suspected cases is under way and able to verify the diagnosis of suspected cases. The increase in suspected cases however indicates continued spread and vaccination efforts need to increase.
