Covid-19 data provided by the health departments of the states of Amapá and Pará, and census data from the IBGE, were used to create maps of the disease for the Delta's municipalities. The virus circulated rapidly to the smallest localities, where the health service and sanitary conditions are precarious, leading to a severe contamination rate. Together with other known aspects, this is yet another opportunity to show the regional needs and the importance of public policies for this population.</p><div id="icpbravoaccess_loaded"> </div>}, number={69}, journal={Revista Nacional de Gerenciamento de Cidades }, author={Costa, Sandra Maria Fonseca da and Lima, Viviana Mendes and Carmos, Monique Bruna Silva do and Montoia, Gustavo Rodrigo Milaré}, year={2021}, month={fev.} }
