Eu quero saber: 60 perguntas e respostas sobre a COVID-19

Abstract

COVID-19 is caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and the first cases were reported in December 2019 in Wuhan Province in China. Subsequently, the virus quickly reached Europe, the United States and landed in Brazil. Even after four months of the first confirmed case in the city of São Paulo (March 4, 2020), many doubts remain or arise as researchers learn more about COVID-19 and the rate at which the disease progresses. Interestingly, the concern about seeking to know more about the new disease and about the measures to combat it began to appear in the speeches and questions of patients and visitors of our Laboratory of the Research Group on Cardiorespiratory Evaluation and Rehabilitation (GECARE) of the Department of Physiotherapy at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). This allowed us to exercise a fundamental approach in the context of health care, to inform from listening to patients' doubts. Break the logic of imposing information. In this sense, GECARE's scientific initiation, master's and doctoral students began to catalog doubts about COVID-19. This happened based on groups of messages maintained with patients during the period of social distance for guidance and monitoring of health conditions. Then, we set up a multiprofessional health team to answer the questions and compiled this 3rd E-book on COVID-19 from our group. We believe that our patients' doubts and the quick question and answer format will allow people in general to know more about the context of COVID-19.
