The worldwide spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused the most severe public health crisis since the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic. After the introduction of public health interventions aimed at reducing the number of COVID-19 cases, many countries across the world obtained success at containing the fast spread of SARS-CoV-2 during the first wave of the pandemic. However, the SARS-CoV-2 has resurged in many countries causing a even more devastating second wave. Brazil is one the most affected countries and currently is facing one of the worst public health crises in its history. Here, we discuss the unprecedented challenges faced by the Brazilian public health system in the midst of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly regarding the collapse of the Brazilian health system and the emergence of new variants of concern (VOCs). Finally, we suggest some insights using a one health approach that will help the country to face and overcome the current COVID-19 crisis.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）在全球范围内的传播引发了自1918年西班牙流感大流行以来最严重的公共卫生危机。在实施旨在减少新冠病毒疾病（COVID-19）病例数量的公共卫生干预措施后，世界上许多国家在疫情第一波期间成功遏制了SARS-CoV-2的快速传播。然而，SARS-CoV-2在许多国家再次出现，引发了更具破坏性的第二波疫情。巴西是受影响最严重的国家之一，目前正面临其历史上最严重的公共卫生危机之一。在此，我们讨论了巴西公共卫生系统在COVID-19大流行第二波期间面临的前所未有的挑战，特别是巴西卫生系统的崩溃以及新的变异株（VOCs）的出现。最后，我们提出了一些基于“同一健康”方法的见解，这将有助于该国应对和克服当前的COVID-19危机。
