Resumo: The objective of this study was to analyze some health indicators in order to understand the current situation of Covid-19 in South America and to contribute to the strengthening of strategies to face this pandemic in the continent. This is a descriptive study with a brief analysis of epidemiological indicators based on data updated daily, obtained from the website https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ and compared with the relevant literature using primarily original studies. Despite the growth in testing rates among South America countries, the population coverage for infection detection testes still low. Thus, the actual proportion of the infected population is not known, and as a consequence, the planning of combat actions becomes more difficult. Investing in tests to detect infection and maintaining sanitary measures seems to be currently the most appropriate strategies for controlling the disease, while effective drugs for the treatment of disease and vaccines for prevention new cases are not available.

Este es un estudio descriptivo, con un breve análisis de indicadores epidemiológicos basado en datos actualizados diariamente, obtenidos del sitio web https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ y comparados con la literatura relevante, utilizando principalmente estudios originales. A pesar del crecimiento en las tasas de prueba entre los países de América del Sur, la cobertura de la población para las pruebas de detección de infección sigue siendo baja. Por lo tanto, se desconoce la proporción real de la población infectada y, como consecuencia, la planificación de las acciones de combate se vuelve más difícil. Actualmente, invertir en pruebas para detectar infecciones y mantener medidas sanitarias parece ser la estrategia más adecuada para controlar la enfermedad, mientras que no se dispone de medicamentos eficaces para tratar enfermedades y vacunas para prevenir nuevos casos.O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar alguns indicadores de saúde visando compreender a situação atual da Covid-19 na América do Sul e contribuir para fortalecimento das estratégias de enfrentamento desta pandemia no continente. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo com breve análise de indicadores epidemiológicos com base nos dados atualizados diariamente, obtidos do site https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ e confrontados com a literatura pertinente utilizando prioritariamente, estudos originais. Apesar do crescimento dos índices na realização de testes entre os países da América do Sul, ainda é baixa a cobertura da população pelos testes de detecção da infecção. Desta forma não se conhece ainda a real proporção da população infectada, e como consequência o planejamento das ações de combate se torna mais difícil. O investimento em testes para detecção da infecção e a manutenção de medidas sanitárias parece ser atualmente, as estratégias mais adequadas para o controle da doença e para a redução dos óbitos, enquanto não estão disponíveis medicamentos eficazes para o tratamento da doença e vacinas para a prevenção de novos casos.       Research, Society and Development2020-08-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/692010.33448/rsd-v9i9.6920Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 No. 9; e42996920Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 Núm. 9; e42996920Research, Society and Development; v. 9 n. 9; e429969202525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/6920/6161Copyright (c) 2020 Saul rassy Carneiro, Maria da Conceição Nascimento Pinheiro, Dirce Nascimento Pinheiro, José Aglair Barbosa de Freitas Júniorhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPinheiro, Maria da Conceição NascimentoPinheiro, Dirce Nascimento Freitas Júnior, José Aglair Barbosa deCarneiro, Saul rassy2020-09-18T01:42:11Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/6920Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:29:51.776362Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
