Note: We only consider data that have an informed outcome. Proportions are calculated based on complete records for sex, self-reported race/ethnicity, education, and geographic area of residence. aData on race/ethnicity were collected as self-reported race or skin colour, classified as Branco (White), Preto (Black), Pardo (Brown), Amarelo (Asian), or Indígena (Indigenous) The percentages of cases are calculated based on the total for each stratification (whole pandemic, first wave, or second wave). Percentages of deaths are calculated based on the total number of cases for each sociodemographic characteristics stratified by whole pandemic, first wave, or second wave.
