† COVID‐19 attributable in‐hospital deaths were defined as deaths in hospitalised unvaccinated residents

with PCR confirmed or clinically diagnosed COVID‐19 infection, or severe respiratory infection with no
other confirmed cause. Data capture admissions and deaths until 26 July 2021.
‡ To reported counts were added expected fatal outcomes in COVID‐19 attributable hospital admissions in

unvaccinated residents with unreported outcomes (Supplementary Text, page 23).

Figure S1: Spatiotemporal expansion of the SARS‐CoV‐2 Gamma variant across Brazil. SARS‐CoV‐2 genome se‐
quences were obtained from the GISAID repository [1] along with confirmed lineage assignments. The frequency
of the Gamma variant (dots) in weekly SARS‐CoV‐2 genome sequence counts (size of dots) is shown along with
posterior median estimates of Gamma’s variant frequencies (black line) under the Bayesian multi‐strain fatality
model (Supplementary Text page 43) and 95% credible intervals (grey ribbon).

in public hospitals in private or public hospitals expected deaths among COVID−19 hospitalised patients with as of yet unknown outcome

Figure S3: Underreporting‐adjusted COVID‐19 attributable deaths. Reported COVID‐19 attributable deaths in the
SIVEP‐Gripe platform were adjusted for in‐hospital underreporting, by counting a proportion of hospitalised pa‐
tients with as of yet unknown outcome as fatal, and for likely out‐of‐hospital under‐reporting, by comparison
against population excess deaths derived from all‐cause mortality data of the Brazilian Civil Registry (Supplemen‐
tary Text, page 23). The date of Gamma’s first detection in each city is shown as a vertical dotted line.

Figure S7: COVID‐19 vaccine coverage. Individual‐level data on administered vaccine doses from the Brazilian
Ministry of Health database [2] were retrieved on 05 August 21, and preprocessed as described in the Supple‐
mentary Text, page 18 and 31. Estimated vaccine coverage is shown by vaccine (colour) and number of doses
administered (colour intensity). The date of Gamma’s detection is added as a grey vertical line. (A) Data for Belo
Horizonte, Curitiba, Florianópolis, Goiânia, João Pessoa.

Figure S12: Model fits to age‐specific COVID‐19 in‐hospital fatality rates. Weekly, age‐specific in‐hospital fatality
rates are shown as dots. Posterior median estimates of the expected in‐hospital fatality rates across variants from
the Bayesian multi‐strain fatality model, Supplementary Text Equation (S34), are shown on the y‐axis (black line)
along with 95% credible intervals (grey ribbon). The expected in‐hospital fatality rates of non‐Gamma variants,
Supplementary Text Equation (S33a), are shown as dotted line. The date of Gamma’s first detection is indicated
as a vertical dotted black line. (A) For Belo Horizonte. (B) For Curitiba.

credible intervals as whiskers. Estimates were derived independently for each location (colour) and control for
changes in the population at risk of a fatal outcome over time, see Supplementary Text, page 50. Estimates for
which credible interval width was larger than 3 were removed from the figure.

Figure S16: Projected proportion of avoidable COVID‐19 attributable deaths in hospitals without pandemic re‐
source limitations. The projections are based on counterfactual simulations assuming the lowest COVID‐19 in‐
hospital fatality rates that were achieved prior to Gamma’s detection in the corresponding location. Posterior
median estimates of the proportion of avoidable COVID‐19 attributable in‐hospital deaths are shown as black
horizontal bar, 50% interquantile ranges as box, and 95% credible intervals as whiskers.

Figure S17: Projected proportion of avoidable COVID‐19 attributable deaths in hospitals without location in‐
equities and without pandemic resource limitations. The projections are based on counterfactual simulations
assuming the lowest COVID‐19 in‐hospital fatality rates that were achieved prior to Gamma’s detection across all
locations. Posterior median estimates of the proportion of avoidable COVID‐19 attributable in‐hospital deaths are
shown as black horizontal bar, 50% interquantile ranges as box, and 95% credible intervals as whiskers.
