“…Regarding the well-known under-reporting of the number of people with COVID-19, mainly in the Brazilian reality, occupational groups have not made a specific notification, so it is not possible to evaluate where and under what circumstances the individuals tested positive or diagnosed with the disease were working, nor to identify sources of dissemination related to work activities (Fiho et al, 2020).…”

This theoretical essay aims to point out the main contributions in the health and workers' safety aspects, considering the laws, public policies, international recommendations, and point out possible paths and roles of Occupational Therapy to fight against COVID-19 Brazilian pandemic. The literature shows that health care workers have three times more likely to get infected than the general population. Thus, in Brazil, the Federal Government needs to articulate with the local and regional sphere to create, adapt, implement and inspect laws, policies, and standards on workers' health and safety to ensure conditions to work and reduce health risks for workers during the pandemic. Regarding Occupational Therapy, initial guidelines were pointed out about the work in the occupational health, considering policies of the Unified Health System, National Health Policy for Workers and Federal Council of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy. The actions must be directed not only to health service workers, but also to other essential assistance services, and those who work in an unregulated manner.

“…O isolamento social se justifica diante da inexistência de vacina e de terapia medicamentosa comprovada até o presente momento, da insuficiente cobertura de testes, da duração prolongada dos quadros clínicos graves ocupando leitos de UTIs, e das experiências de outros países (Fiho, Assunção, Algranti, Garcia, Saito & Maeno, 2020).…”

Objective: to promote a reflection on health and the current pandemic with the proposal of the present and future construction of a more integrative and cooperative global health, with health services accessible to the populations. Method: literature review based on research carried out on books and database of scientific publications (VHL and Scielo). Results: scientific texts considered relevant for the discussion were included in this review, with the themes of Public Health and COVID-19. Discussion: the discussion was organized into four categories, namely: COVID-19 epidemiological challenges for health; measures to contain the pandemic; the impact of the pandemic on mental health; the social and economic impact of the pandemic.
