“…Thus, in assessing the grief process and children's understanding of death, it is essential to consider child's experiences, their interaction with adults, the broader culture, and exposure to losses. In addition, the child's developmental age, educational status, pre-existing mental health condition, economically underprivileged background, quarantined, and pandemics-related routine changes influence this process ( 4 , 5 ). The present review uses Bronfenbrenner's bio-ecological model to discuss the contextual factors that shape the cognitive understanding and the psychological impact of death and grief process among children in the COVID-19 pandemic ( Table 1 ).…”

COVID-19 Pandemic has influenced death-related attitudes and understanding during the childhood development leading to a life-long impact. Factors like pandemic-related movement restrictions, school closures, and parents' stay-at-home have exposed children to the phenomenon of grief and death. In that case, children anticipate adverse outcomes and fear while they struggle with unanswered questions. Children may not have coping skills needed to manage their grief in constructive ways to identify, normalize, and express their responses to the loss in their lives. Naming and validating these responses as distinctive aspects of grief process and providing safe space to express their feelings are essential components of a child's coping with loss and grief. This is crucial to consider, as different children react to and are influenced by their environments differently. This article aims to explore the developmental understanding of the process of death and grief by applying the conceptual framework of Bronfenbrenner's theory. Understanding mutual interaction between a child and various ecological systems determines how children perceive death and process grief can facilitate effective communication that has significant implications.

“…Porém, a transmissão comunitária pode ser importada e refletida dentro da escola, e a mitigação como distanciamento, cancelamento de aglomerações em massa, higiene das mãos e isolamento em caso de sintomas, é de fundamental importância para o retorno das atividades presenciais nas escolas (Guimarães;Mau;Maunsell, 2020). Além disso, o mapa de risco é uma estratégia visual e chamativa, cuja função é alertar as pessoas dos riscos e da sua intensidade e colaborar na formação profissional dos alunos do curso de licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas.…”

Estratégias precisam ser elaboradas para o retorno das atividades presenciais nas instituições educacionais. Diante disso, para a diminuir o contágio pela SARS-CoV-2 e suas variantes, bem como os vírus da gripe H1N1, H3N2 (Darwin) e Cepa B, esse trabalho teve como objetivo realizar a construção de um modelo de mapa risco de contaminação aos vírus que possa ser adaptado para as diferentes instituições, e que possibilite a visualização das áreas nos quais os riscos são maiores e menores, para que possam ser traçados estratégias para o controle das doenças. O mapa de risco foi construído utilizando como modelo a Universidade Federal de Sergipe (UFS) no campus universitário Professor Alberto Carvalho, localizado na cidade de Itabaiana, Sergipe, Brasil. Após a construção do mapa, foram adicionados os graus de risco de baixo, médio e alta intensidade de contaminação pelos vírus, tendo como resultado as áreas de maiores riscos: salas de aula, banheiros, vivência, laboratórios e o auditório, isto está relacionado com o alto número de pessoas circulando nesses locais e o contato frequente com maçanetas, corrimão, vidrarias, bancadas e locais com baixa circulação de ar. Por fim, o mapa de risco serve de guia para identificar as áreas de maiores riscos e que possam ser traçadas, por partes administrativas das instituições, estratégias para minimizar tais problemáticas.
