Introduction:from the declaration of a pandemic, by the World Health Organization, life was reconfigured in different ways, with isolation and social distance, quarantine, hygiene care, among others. This impacted the healthdisease process, generating emotional and social suffering, as well as doubts about the disease and the care that must be taken. Understanding digital literacy as a powerful ferment in health promotion, the UNIDAVI Medicine course planned an extension project, "Telemedicine Actions" that uses Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in welcoming the community, as an alternative to visiting conventional home care, consisting of offering reception and guidance on healthy practices and care to users of Primary Health Care (PHC) services in the city of Rio do Sul/SC, during the Covid-19 pandemic. This project takes place with the application of a Virtual Home Visit (VDV) protocol, proposed based on the principles and guidelines that underlie the SUS (Unified Health System). This way, VDV is characterized as Telemedicine action, defined as the exercise through interactive methodologies of audiovisual and data communication, with the objective of assistance, education and research in health (CFM, 2002). Objectives: -Put into practice "health education", one of the three guiding axes of training provided for in the National Curriculum Guidelines for the Medicine course. -Offer reception and qualified listening and guide on healthy practices and care of users of PHC services, in the municipality of Rio do Sul/SC, during the pandemic, temporarily and on an exceptional basis. Experience or action report: the population covered is composed of three thousand families, registered in the PHC services. With the list of patients and their data (name, age, gender, telephone and health unit belonging), made available by the Municipal Health Department of Rio do Sul (SMS-RS), students, assisted by their teachers, keep in touch with patients, through audio and/or video calls, via the WhatsApp application. A specific questionnaire was applied in order to guide and offer reception, featuring an education and health promotion action. Reflection on the experience: the perception is that the families feel: recognized as active subjects; mobilized for the readaptation of daily life, in order to create safe and comfortable environments for family life; assisted and cared for in their health related to Covid-19 and flu vaccination; encouraged to self-care in health; emotionally supported and motivated to regain a sense of connection with other people, albeit in other ways; welcomed in their health problems, that is, that they know that possible referral needs will be made, in order to guarantee the resolution of PHC. Conclusion: telemedicine, through VDV, in this experience, proved to be a powerful health promotion tool, strengthening links between the actors in the process, showing that the use of ICTs can, contrary to what is often claimed, strengthen the humanization of medicine.

“…Em contraponto, imunizações de rotina durante pandemias podem ter sido prejudicadas como demonstrou o estudo de Menezes et al (2021) que calculou a cobertura vacinal de 82,3% para influenza em idosos durante a COVID-19 através do EPICOVID-19.…”

Essa pesquisa objetivou avaliar a distribuição geográfica das doses aplicadas da vacina contra a influenza na população com 60 anos ou mais, no período de 2016 a 2020. O método foi a partir de um estudo transversal com consulta do banco de dados do SUS – DATASUS, evidenciando total de quase 7 milhões de doses aplicadas da vacina contra influenza no período do estudo, 1,4 milhões foram para a população idosa, correspondendo a 20% do total de vacinados nesse período. O ano em que foi registrado o maior número de aplicações da vacina na população idosa foi o ano de 2016 e o menor número foi em 2018, sendo que nos anos seguintes houve aumento. Em relação à distribuição geográfica, observou-se maior número de vacinados na região sudeste. A região com menor número de doses aplicadas foi a região centro-oeste. Conclui-se que, apesar da diminuição observada do número de doses aplicadas no decorrer do período estudado, ainda se encontra maior concentração das doses aplicadas na região sudeste. Logo, torna-se necessária a disseminação de mais assistência de saúde e de informação para facilitar o acesso da população idosa à vacinação.

The coronavirus pandemic of 2019 has already exerted an enormous impact. For over a year, the worldwide pandemic has ravaged the whole globe, with approximately 250 million verified human infection cases and a mortality rate surpassing 4 million. While the genetic makeup of the related pathogen (SARS-CoV-2) was identified, many unknown facets remain a mystery, comprising the virus’s origin and evolutionary trend. There were many rumors that SARS-CoV-2 was human-borne and its evolution was predicted many years ago, but scientific investigation proved them wrong and concluded that bats might be the origin of SARS-CoV-2 and pangolins act as intermediary species to transmit the virus from bats to humans. Airborne droplets were found to be the leading cause of human-to-human transmission of this virus, but later studies showed that contaminated surfaces and other environmental factors are also involved in its transmission. The evolution of different SARS-CoV-2 variants worsens the condition and has become a challenge to overcome this pandemic. The emergence of COVID-19 is still a mystery, and scientists are unable to explain the exact origin of SARS-CoV-2. This review sheds light on the possible origin of SARS-CoV-2, its transmission, and the key factors that worsen the situation.
