“…Some studies demonstrated that the MHDI factor is interconnected to the occurrence of cases, with the number of deaths and confirmed cases being inversely proportional to the MHDI [57,58]. Although small, medium and large municipalities have different means of MHDI-0.7031, 0.7041 and 1.765 respectively, we did not detect interference of this macro determinant in the occurrence of cases, probably because the data are restricted to the initial stage of pandemic occurrence [20].…”

COVID-19 is considered by the World Health Organization to be a global public health emergency, which presents regional divergences that affect the epidemiological profile of the disease and are associated with political, economic, social and behavioral aspects. We aimed to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of the disease in the microregion of Uberlândia, Brazil, in order to determine risk factors that contributed to progression of SARS-CoV-2 virus. A cross-sectional study was conducted about micro- and macro-determinants combined with the significance analysis of suspected and confirmed cases in 18 municipalities during the epidemiological weeks (EW) 9 to 26. There were 34,046 notifications, of which 4935 (14.49%) people were diagnosed with COVID-19. Of these, 282 (5.71%) required hospital care and 40 (0.81%) died. Age and presence of associated comorbidities were decisive in the variations of incidence and lethality rates. In general, young people were the most affected and the elderly people, the most exposed to the serious and lethal form (p < 0.0001). Comorbidities such as diabetes and cardiopathies increased 33.5 times the death risk. The dispersion of the virus was centrifugal, in the inter as well as in the intra-municipal level. The disorderly implementation of municipal decrees applied in a decentralized manner in the municipalities seems to have contributed for the incidence rates increasing in the EW 25 and 26.

“…No início de março, foi publicado o primeiro Boletim Epidemiológico pernambucano, havendo atualizações diárias até o presente dia. Nestes boletins, constam informações importantes sobre casos suspeitos e confirmados, óbitos, recuperação dos pacientes, atualização de notas técnicas, assim como os dados da vacinação atualmente (Silva et al, 2020c;Ximenes et. al., 2021).…”

Introdução: Identificar as principais ações da vigilância em saúde, no que diz respeito à elaboração de políticas públicas, na prevenção do avanço da pandemia desde a sua chegada ao Brasil, dando ênfase à sua progressão no Estado de Pernambuco. Desenvolvimento: Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica em que utilizou-se as bases de dados: SciELO, Google acadêmico, BVS e CAPES para reunir artigos acerca do assunto explorado. Como critério de inclusão foram priorizadas pesquisas nacionais, publicadas entre os anos de 2017 a 2021, que abordassem os mecanismos de ação da vigilância em saúde e da implementação de políticas públicas em saúde. Desse modo, evidenciou-se que as ações da vigilância em saúde iniciaram-se antes da pandemia acometer o Brasil, tendo suas principais ações a coleta de informações e publicação de Boletins Epidemiológicos e Notas Técnicas em busca de preparar o SUS para o manejo de possíveis pacientes. A implementação e atualização de ferramentas para registro de casos suspeitos auxiliou o trabalho de profissionais da saúde e permitiu a disponibilização de informações sobre casos, “fake news” e demais dados de transparência. Conclusão: Apesar da implementação tardia das medidas de segurança, a vigilância em saúde em Pernambuco desempenhou um importante papel no planejamento, condução, organização, fiscalização, monitoramento, contenção de danos e proteção da saúde da população. Os dados registrados subsidiam as ações, e apoiam a elaboração de políticas públicas para a ação da vigilância, garantindo obrigatoriedade ao comprimento das recomendações das medidas preventivas.

“…5 For the present study, the SARS case registry was used as a proxy (representative) of COVID-19 incidence, which had been justified through other studies using SARS data during the pandemic period. 8,9,10 Furthermore, with the pandemic, the reinforcement of the SARS surveillance system represented an important step forward for public health, in the light of the epidemiology of respiratory agents. 11 The Brazilian Institute for Geography and Statistics (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, IBGE) was used as a source for data referring to the regions of influence (Regiões de Influência das Cidades, REGIC) 12,13 and accessibility of the municipalities of Acre.…”

BACKGROUND: The Respiratory Syndromes Surveillance System was created by the Brazilian Ministry of Health in 2000 to monitor influenza in this country. With the emergence of the new coronavirus pandemic, it became incorporated into the surveillance network for influenza and other respiratory viruses. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in the state of Acre through its hierarchical urban network. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional, descriptive and ecological study, using a spatiotemporal approach and using secondary data. This study was conducted in the state of Acre, northern Brazil. METHODS: This study used secondary data, and epidemiological weeks and municipalities were taken to be the units of analysis. Incidence rates and kernel intensities were calculated for four study periods. Spatiotemporal analysis was performed using scan statistics to identify clusters of SARS cases and considering the population of each municipality. RESULTS: In general, it could be observed that there were higher kernel rates and intensities in municipalities located in the north and south of this state (i.e. its most populous municipalities). CONCLUSION: Priority areas for interventions to control transmission of COVID-19 were highlighted, with the aim of reducing the risks of transmission to more distant areas in the urban hierarchy of the state of Acre.
