O território de Santana do MundaúAL no contexto pandêmico e as intervenções estatais

Abstract

This research analyzed the geographical context of covid-19, an acute respiratory infection disease caused by the SARS-COV-2 coronavirus, based on the territory and health of the municipality of Santana do Mundaú, located in the state of Alagoas/Brazil. The methodology consisted of mapping, photographic records and application of forms to municipal health workers, with the aim of learning about the impacts of transmissibility in the municipality. The spread of covid-19 can be explained by the organization of the population in the territory and the spatial distance between households in urban and rural areas. However, the effects of globalization have made it possible to understand the rapid process of transmission of the disease in different territories of the world, which has put everyone under the same risk ceiling and, consequently, led to global (technical and scientific) action. Both the number of fatal victims of Covid-19 and the discovery of the vaccine show how countries and their states are connected to the world system. In Brazil, the Unified Health System (SUS) was not prepared to support the number of cases, so the covid-19 pandemic, through the possibilities of globalization, made itself present locally (municipality) in two ways: through contagion of the virus and through the use of the immunizer.
