The original version of this Article contained errors.


In the Results section, under the subheading ‘Predictive models,’


“Thus it is possible to know for the next few days if the number of new cases (patients) and deaths will correspond to the low (33%), medium (66%) or high (100%) value of the tertiles (NC_SP: 220, 800 and 8646 patients; NC_RJ: 240, 800 and 7592 patients; NC_Manaus: 200, 400 and 3632 patients; ND_SP: 25, 75 and 378 deaths; ND_RJ: 50, 70 and 100 deaths; ND_Manaus: 5, 15 and 183 deaths).”


now reads:


“Thus it is possible to know for the next few days if the number of new cases (patients) and deaths will correspond to the low (33%), medium (66%) or high (100%) value of the tertiles (NC_SP: 800, 2200 and 8646 patients; NC_RJ: 240, 800 and 7592 patients; NC_Manaus: 200, 400 and 3632 patients; ND_SP: 25, 75 and 378 deaths; ND_RJ: 25, 75 and 307 deaths; ND_Manaus: 5, 15 and 183 deaths).”


Additionally, Table 1 contained errors under the “New confirmed (NC)”, “C%” and “S%” columns. The predictive model rules for NC_RJ were incorrectly swapped with NC_Manaus.
