Comunidades quilombolas têm sentido efeitos do racismo aprofundados com a Covid-19 cujas repercussões se amplificam em contextos de desigualdades raciais, caracterizando-se como sindemia. O termo remete à sinergia de elementos biológicos, econômicos, ambientais, políticos e sociais que potencializam condições e estados coexistentes, repercutindo na vida e afetando a saúde. Assim, analisamos as repercussões da sindemia da Covid-19 a partir das percepções de quilombolas em Mato Grosso. Em estudo qualitativo entrevistamos três lideranças em maio/2022, com roteiro semiestruturado e tratamos os dados pela análise temática. A sindemia da Covid-19 visibilizou a precariedade estrutural da falta de estrada, de saneamento básico, as barreiras de acesso à saúde e garantia de direitos na zona rural, densamente habitada por corpos negros. O isolamento, mortes, medos tiveram repercussões psicossociais, mas ausência de atenção à saúde mental. Propostas antirracistas clamam por: reparar precariedades reconhecendo a dívida do Estado com a população negra; valorizar experiências, modo de vida, cosmovisão, valores civilizatórios ancestrais afrocentrados. Enfim, fortalecer, reafirmar e efetivar ações antirracistas como o Estatuto da Igualdade Racial e a PNSIPN em todos possíveis espaços, políticas e instituições.
Quilombola communities have felt the effects of racism deepened by covid-19, whose repercussions are amplified in contexts of racial inequalities, characterizing it as a syndemic. The term refers to the synergy of biological, economic, environmental, political and social elements that enhance coexisting conditions and states, impacting life and affecting health. We analyze the repercussions of the covid-19 syndemic based on the perceptions of quilombola community leaders in Mato Grosso/Brazil. In a qualitative study, we interviewed three leaders in May/2022, using a semi-structured script and treating the data through thematic analysis. The covid-19 syndemic highlighted the structural precariousness the lack of roads, basic sanitation, barriers to access to health and guarantee of rights in rural areas, densely inhabited by black bodies. Isolation, deaths, fears had psychosocial repercussions, but lack of attention to mental health. Anti-racist proposals call for: repairing precariousness by recognizing the State\'s debt to the black population; valuing experiences, way of life, cosmovision, Afro-centered ancestral civilizational values. Finally, strengthen, reaffirm and implement anti-racist actions such as the Statute of Racial Equality and the PNSIPN in all possible spaces, policies and institutions
