Coronavirus is a family of viruses that cause respiratory infections. From cases first recorded in China at the end of 2019, a new type of virus in this family, named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was discovered. The disease caused by this virus, COVID-19, was brought into Brazil by people in social classes with greater purchasing power, but groups with larger demographic dimensions have tended to become more affected over time. Poor sanitation can generate risky situations and behavior among people who live in spaces with characteristics that limit their quality of life. Installation of piped water in homes and basic education for the population are fundamental measures for disease control, including in relation to COVID-19. In this updating article, the COVID-19 pandemic was analyzed in the context of iniquities in Brazil (comparing these with the situation in other countries). A bibliographic search of texts relating to basic sanitation, socioeconomic development and transmission of COVID-19 in Brazil and worldwide was conducted.
冠状病毒是一组能引发呼吸道感染的病毒。从 2019 年末中国首次记录的病例中，发现了该家族中的一种新型病毒，命名为严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2（SARS-CoV-2）。由这种病毒引起的疾病，即 COVID-19，是由购买力更强的社会阶层的人带入巴西的，但随着时间的推移，人口规模较大的群体往往更容易受到影响。卫生条件差会在生活在空间有限、生活质量较差的人群中产生危险情况和行为。家庭自来水安装和人口基本教育是疾病控制的基本措施，包括控制 COVID-19。在这篇更新文章中，分析了巴西不平等现象（与其他国家相比）下的 COVID-19 大流行。对与巴西和全球基本卫生、社会经济发展和 COVID-19 传播有关的文献进行了搜索。
