Abstract:

The objective was to investigate the relationship between COVID-19 and social vulnerability variables in Fortaleza, as well as to verify the influence of violence in the ACS work and its implications in their fight against the COVID-19. Primary quantitative data (e.g., questionnaires with ACS) and secondary data (e.g., HDI, homicide, illiteracy, Bolsa Família [PBF] coverage and Family Health Strategy [ESF] coverage) were used. There was a relationship between COVID-19 and indicators of social vulnerability, cases had a negative relationship with HDI and illiteracy, and deaths a positive relationship with homicides and PBF coverage. Regions with high death rates due to COVID-19 and social vulnerability have greater FHS coverage and less home visits by the CHA. The latter\'s role in confronting COVID-19 is limited by the violence of the territory. The thoroughperformance of the ACS in confronting this pandemic is dependent on intersectoral policies. Thus, the construction of a COVID-19 coping policy with the participation of the ACS needs to consider, in addition to its adequate training in the prevention and detection of COVID-19, intersectoral actions for confronting and preventing violence in the territory.
