Observatório Covid-Prev

“…Desde a declaração da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) em 30 de janeiro de 2020 de que a doença provocada pelo novo coronavírus se tratava de uma emergência em saúde pública internacional (Campos et al, 2021), muitos estudos nacionais e internacionais têm sido divulgados sobre transparência em relação à pandemia da Covid-19. Ao tratar do uso da lei de acesso à informação no Governo Federal do Brasil durante a pandemia, Malin, Machado, Jesus Moreira, Quintslr e Santos Alves (2021) apresentaram que os pedidos de informações relativos ao primeiro semestre de 2020 foram majoritariamente relacionados ao auxílio emergencial.…”
