Abstract

Background:
This article discusses the importance of territorialization in health for the management and prevention of COVID-19 in the area of operation of the Emergency Care Unit (UPAs) of Seropédica in Rio de Janeiro. The adverse context of the pandemic, which did not present anything new, brought to light the precariousness of environmental sanitation in the country. In this sense, the objective of this work was to identify the degree of social inequalities in the area of action of this UPA of Seropédica, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to analyze whether these areas are of inadequate sanitation.

Methods: A quantitative survey was carried out using the health indicators of the Synthesis Panel by Municipality developed by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), and the Social Inequalities Index for Covid-19 (IDS-COVID-19) prepared by the Center for Integration of Data and Knowledge for Health (CIDACS).

Results: Finally, this work reflects that the indicators present a high degree of social inequalities for the municipality of Seropédica.

Conclusions: As well as that the pandemic is not being the same for everyone. Death by COVID-19 has color!
