COVID-19 hospitalizations, in-patient deaths, ICU admission and IMV need in Amazonas and Brazil, 2020–21. The number of cases for each epidemiological week (first symptoms) was extracted from SIVEP-Gripe database from the Brazilian Ministry of Health. The data were stratified by age group in order to show the highest incidence of young adults being affected by the virus, leading to an increase in ICU admission and invasive mechanical ventilation need during the second wave of COVID-19 in the state of Amazonas (a) and the rest of Brazil (b)
