“…Recife, the capital of the state of Pernambuco, was one of the Brazilian cities with the fastest spread of COVID-19 and one of the highest mortality rates related to COVID-19. Due to the accelerated curve, the local government acted quickly implementing measures that included suspension of educational activities and non-essential services and the encouragement of social distancing and home-office activities (Endo et al 2020 ). In this sense, the rates of in loco social isolation exceeded 50% in the first 2 weeks of the implementation of the measures and remained for months (Endo et al 2020 ).…”

Studies around the world have revealed reduced levels of atmospheric particulate matter in periods of greatest human mobility restriction to contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The present study aimed to carry out a health impact assessment in Recife, Brazil, hypothesizing a scenario in which the levels of PM 10 and PM 2.5 remained, throughout the year, as in the most restrictive period of human mobility. Particular material data (PM 10 and PM 2.5 ) were measured during the pandemic and population and health (mortality, hospital admissions for heart and respiratory problems) data from 2018 were used. We observed a reduction in the concentration of PM 2.5 in up to 43.7% and PM 10 up to 29.5% during the period of social isolation in the city of Recife. The reduction in PM 2.5 would avoid 106 annual deaths from non-external causes and 58 annual deaths from cardiovascular diseases. In this scenario, $ 294.88 million would be saved ($ 114.88 million from heart problems and $ 180 million from non-external causes). When considering hospitalizations avoided by the decrease in PM 10 , we observed 57 fewer hospitalizations for respiratory diseases, 42 for heart diseases and a reduction of 37 deaths due to non-external causes. The reduction in spending on respiratory and cardiovascular hospitalizations would exceed $ 330,000. Therefore, the reduction of particulate matter could prevent hospital admissions, deaths and consequently there would be a reduction in disease burden in developing countries where economic resources are scarce. In this sense, governments should seek to reduce levels of pollution in order to improve the life quality and health of the population.

“…É salutar que diferentes instâncias do governo e entidades da sociedade civil assegurem assistência à saúde, segurança e recursos necessários à redução da velocidade de difusão da doença e na mitigação de seus resultados na saúde das pessoas 5,24,35,36 . Diante das circunstâncias epidemiológicas do País, recomenda--se a disseminação de informações claras e oportunas, para que a comunidade perceba os riscos inerentes à epidemia e aumente sua adesão ao distanciamento social 11, 36 .…”

RESUMO Este estudo teve por objetivo estimar a prevalência da adesão ao isolamento social e verificar os fatores associados, durante a pandemia de Covid-19, entre professores de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Trata- se de um estudo transversal realizado com uma amostra de 15.641 docentes. Aplicou-se um formulário digital para a coleta dos dados. Foram conduzidas análises descritivas das variáveis, que incluíram adesão ao isolamento social, características sociodemográficas, fatores ocupacionais e condições de saúde au- torrelatadas. Utilizou-se o modelo de regressão de Poisson com variância robusta e se estimaram Razões de Prevalências (RP) com intervalos de 95% de confiança. A prevalência de adesão ao isolamento social foi estimada em 79,8%, cujos fatores associados foram: sexo feminino; faixa etária igual ou superior a 60 anos; viver com o(a) cônjuge; maior carga horária de trabalho; dificuldades no sono; sentimento de tristeza; além de patologias como hipertensão arterial sistêmica, diabetes mellitus, obesidade e doenças respiratórias. Evidenciou-se expressiva prevalência de adesão às medidas de isolamento social entre os docentes, e que a adesão está associada a características sociodemográficas, fatores ocupacionais e condições de saúde dos profissionais da educação.

“…Our preliminary analysis reconfirms previous literature that in the absence of mobility data from official sources, anonymous mobile phone traces can be used as a proxy of human movement and social interactions (Tizzoni et al 2014;Oliver et al 2020). In addition to Google Community Mobility Reports, recent studies suggest spatio-temporal data from other mobile applications, not designed for public health purposes, can be useful for monitoring adherence to public health policies in pandemics (Endo et al 2020). However, this requires changes in "digital mindset" and capabilities from governments and public authorities, and mechanisms to access data from commercial sources while addressing concerns about data privacy, data protection and civil liberties (Oliver et al 2020).…”
