In view of the current Pandemic situation declared by the World Health Organization in March 2020, due to the rapid dispersion of Coronavirus, whose main disease - COVID-19 - may cause the overcrowding of public health services and accentuate the loss of life of population, questions arise regarding how vulnerable the territories are in relation to this dangerous phenomenon, and, in addition, what degree of risk the populations are exposed to, considering the characteristics of the territories. In this sense, the objective of this research was to analyze the Vulnerability and Risk to COVID-19 in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, considering the characteristics of the territory, since that state presented an increase of 68% of confirmed cases in the epidemiological period between 23 and 30 April, reaching 255 contaminated. To achieve this objective, specific variables have been listed to quantify and to analyze both the Vulnerability and the risk of the municipal territories of Mato Grosso do Sul to COVID-19. It was found that of the 79 municipalities, 55.6% had Moderate to High Vulnerability, and 72.8% were classified as Moderate to High Risk Territories for COVID-19, therefore needing attention to territorial planning in coping of Pandemic.
