In the midst of the  pandemic of the new coronavirus (Covid-19), the explosion of information in the media about the disease has intensified the production and dissemination of  fake news. Thus, this work, supported by the qualitative research approach, aimed to analyze the critical formation of the reader to the reflection of the pragmatic factors of textuality in the production of fake news about Covid-19. Three publications on coronavirus cure through homemade inputs are analyzed. These publications were checked by the Ministry of Health website and confirmed as fake news. The research was based on Textual Linguistics under the theoretical foundations of Costa Val (1991; 2008), Koch and Travaglia (1993; 2015), Marcuschi (2008), Koch (2014), Koch and Elias (2008), Rodrigues et al. (2009); Santaella (2018), Leite (2019) and Galhardi et al. (2020), Bauman (2001) on fake news and its intensification. It was found that the critical training of readers is still limited, as the producers of fake news use the pragmatic factors of textuality to attribute meanings to what is stated about Covid-19 and gain the cooperation of the reader in the acceptance of its contents. Therefore, this interaction among author / text / reader makes it difficult to combat the health crisis in Brazil.
