Resumo: | The paper examines the implications of Covid-19 pandemic for the city of Belo Horizonte (BH), during the first 80 days of the disease. We use a descriptive-analytical approach to estimate the growth of Covid-19 cases over time, the excess of deaths, the virus’ rate of transmissibility, and the consequent burden on the municipal the health system, measured by the rate of occupancy of public hospital beds. Also, we identify the main containment policies adopted by local authorities, and the implications of reopening measures and the following reduction of social distancing. Our findings reveal that a well-managed Unified Health System (SUS) is paramount to effectively tackle the pandemic and its consequences for the population. The reopening process has imposed new challenges that will require close monitoring by the authorities and by the society. |

Utilizamos um recorte analítico descritivo para mensurar a evolução dos casos, o excesso de óbitos, a taxa de transmissibilidade do vírus e a pressão da doença sobre o sistema de saúde de BH e região, através da taxa de ocupação hospitalar nos leitos públicos. Além disso, identificamos as principais políticas de contenção adotadas pelas autoridades locais, bem como as implicações da redução do distanciamento social. Nossos resultados demonstram que o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), bem gerido, é fundamental para o enfrentamento da pandemia e a mitigação de suas consequências para a população. O processo de flexibilização que se inicia tem imposto novos desafios que requererão monitoramento atento das autoridades e da sociedade.Departamento de Ciências Econômicas da UFMG2020-10-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomia/article/view/6302Nova Economia; Vol. 30 No. 2 (2020); 701-737Nova Economia; v. 30 n. 2 (2020); 701-7371980-53810103-6351reponame:Nova Economia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomia/article/view/6302/3193Copyright (c) 2020 Mônica Viegas Andrade, Kenya Noronha, Cássio Maldonado Turra, Gilvan Ramalho Guedes, Fernanda Cimini, Leonardo Costa Ribeiro, Américo Tristão Bernardes, Edson Paulo Domingues, Mirian Martins Ribeiro, Laura de Almeida Botega, Lucas Resende de Carvalho, Daniel Nogueira, Júlia Almeida Calazans, Nayara Abreu Julião, Aline de Souza, Valéria Andrade Silva, Victor Hugo Lima, Jéferson Pereira Andrade, Monique Felix Ferreira, Reinaldo Onofre dos Santos, Jomara Alves da Silvahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessViegas Andrade, MônicaNoronha, KenyaMaldonado Turra, CássioRamalho Guedes, GilvanCimini, FernandaCosta Ribeiro, LeonardoTristão Bernardes, AméricoPaulo Domingues, EdsonMartins Ribeiro, Miriande Almeida Botega, LauraResende de Carvalho, LucasNogueira, DanielAlmeida Calazans, JúliaAbreu Julião, Nayarade Souza, AlineAndrade Silva, ValériaLima, Victor HugoPereira Andrade, JéfersonFelix Ferreira, MoniqueOnofre dos Santos, ReinaldoAlves da Silva, Jomara2020-10-05T02:56:53Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/6302Revistahttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomiaPUBhttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomia/oai||ne@face.ufmg.br1980-53810103-6351opendoar:2020-10-05T02:56:53Nova Economia (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false |
