Abstract:

The article aims to discuss the consequences of social distance measures on the availability of blood and the organization of hemotherapy services at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil. From the access to the news published in the month of April 2020 on the websites of the country\'s State Hemorrhoids and organized in an Excel matrix, summary tables and description of results were prepared. The critical situation of blood supply, especially for some blood types, has been observed in many states, and this condition is influenced by the circulation of the new coronavirus. The adoption of social distance measures and the maintenance of transfusion demands for treatments, urgency and emergency, required the implementation and implementation of strategies and actions for the reorganization of services. Protection measures were incorporated, flows changed and routines established. This study shows how much the epidemiological situation of Covid-19 and the necessary measures for its control influenced the situation of stocks and availability of blood, and, consequently, demanded changes in the organization of hemotherapy services in order to ensure protection, mitigate the risks of spreading the virus and guarantee the blood supply to meet the needs of the health system.
