0191/2020 - PNAD COVID-19 – Um novo e poderoso instrumento para Vigilância em Saúde no Brasil PNAD COVID-19: A powerful new tool for public health surveillance in Brazil
O Ministério da Saúde declarou em 03 de fevereiro de 2020 estado de emergência em saúde pública de importância internacional em decorrência da pandemia pelo novo coronavírus SARS-CoV-2. Com isso, o IBGE adiou a realização do Censo Demográfico de 2020 e passou a formular uma PNAD COVID-19. O inquérito contou com uma amostra total de 349 mil pessoas em cerca de 200 mil domicílios. Do total da população-residente brasileira, o IBGE estimou em maio/2020 que 24,0 milhões (11,4%) tiveram pelo menos um dos sintomas de síndrome gripal (SG). Desse contingente, 20,2 milhões (84,3% do total dos sintomáticos) não procuraram unidade de saúde. As inovações trazidas para a vigilância em saúde e o pioneirismo do IBGE demonstram ser possível, em um país continental e que vem experimentando diversas epidemias locais em momentos diferentes em seu território. Que outros países também desenvolvam inquéritos domiciliares semelhantes, com coleta de dados semanal (referida às semanas epidemiológicas) por telefone de forma inovadora e tempestiva. A PNAD COVID-19 trouxe ainda uma nova tecnologia para o Instituto, resgatando o papel de avaliador externo do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS).

Abstract:
On February 3, 2020, Brazilian Ministry of Health declared a state of emergency in public health of international importance due to the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. As a result, IBGE postponed the 2020 Demographic Census and started to formulate a PNAD COVID-19. The survey included a total sample of 349,000 people in about 200,000 households. Of the total Brazilian resident population, the IBGE estimated in May / 2020 that 24.0 million (11.4%) had at least one of the symptoms of flu-like syndrome (SG). Of this contingent, 20.2 million (84.3% of all symptomatic patients) did not seek health care. The innovations brought to health surveillance and the pioneering spirit of the IBGE demonstrate that it is possible, in a continental country that has been experiencing several local epidemics at different times in its territory, that other countries also develop similar household surveys, with weekly data collection ( referred to epidemiological weeks) by telephone in an innovative and timely manner. PNAD COVID-19 also brought a new technology to the Institute, rescuing the role of external evaluator of the Unified Health System (SUS).
