This project aims to scrap data from 'Portal da transparência - Registro Civil' in the matter of the COVID-19 epidemic, motivated by the lack of data disaggregated by gender and age pointed out by Bernardo Queiroz in a tweet.
Ministry of Health of Brazil have been publishing aggregated data.
It's important to point out that we have some differences in the data: for example, in 24/04/2020, by administrative records there were 4,370 deaths by COVID-19 or under suspects in Brazil; instead, data provided by the Ministry of Health shows 3,670 deaths.
