THE PANDEMIC OF CORONAVIRUS AND THE VULNERABLE GROUPS: an analysis about the efficiency of brazilian government acts

Abstract

The present paper analyzes the acts taken by the Brazilian government in order to contain the damage suffered by groups in social vulnerability, in face of the epidemic caused by coronavirus, also known as COVID-19. Through the survey of epidemiological data, organized by chronological and social criteria, it is possible to compare the impacts caused by the pandemic and the presidential manifestations and administrative acts. In this sense, it will analyze the actions taken by the Brazilian State in search of protection to the vulnerable groups, by identifying the social groups considered to be vulnerable and their rights and needs for specific protections. The research and elaboration of the theme was based on the method of documentary study, through the identification of legislation, doctrines and jurisprudence, as well as the collection of research data related to the pandemic. Thus, considering the current Brazilian and global situation of confronting COVID-19, it is intended to clarify whether the Brazilian State's action in protecting vulnerable groups corresponded to the existing duties and guidelines, as well as meeting the needs of this population.
