This paper provides an overview of the regulatory responses to Covid-19 from the regulatory authorities of Brazilian states. This paper aims to provide new insights into the operationalization of the human rights to water and sanitation in the Brazilian regulatory authorities' actions during a health emergency. We find that communities located in unserved areas were not mentioned in the regulatory responses, nor were people in vulnerable situations. Equity and non-discrimination principles were correlated more with economic measures. This study has also identified the absence of responses related to access to sanitation facilities, with normative contents related to the issue not appearing in the content analysis.
本文概述了巴西各州监管机构对新冠疫情的监管应对措施。本文旨在为卫生紧急情况期间巴西监管机构行动中与水和卫生设施相关的人权实施情况提供新的见解。我们发现，未得到服务地区的社区在监管应对措施中未被提及，弱势群体也未被提及。公平和非歧视原则与经济措施的关联度更高。本研究还发现缺乏与获得卫生设施相关的应对措施，在内容分析中未出现与该问题相关的规范性内容。
