| Resumo: | On March 11, 2021, the World Health Organization officially declared the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 is mainly respiratory in nature and can cause mild symptoms or worsen to critical conditions. Brazil has become one of the epicenters of the disease, taking third place in the number of contaminated and second in deaths. In this context, the study aims to evaluate the epidemiological behavior of mortality from COVID-19 in Brazil, between the years 2020 and 2022. The research was carried out in Brazil, with deaths from COVID-19 occurring between the 9th Epidemiological Week of 2020 and the 52nd of 2022. The independent variables selected were the epidemiological weeks, as well as sex, age group, states and Brazilian regions. Data on deaths from COVID-19 were extracted throughout the study, the last update being on February 27, 2023, on the Civil Registry Transparency Portal. To obtain the statistical analysis, the JoinPoint software was used. The Brazilian regions began to show statistical significance in the mortality rate after the 12th epidemiological week of 2020. The upward behavior of mortality from COVID-19 in 2020 stands out, with special attention to its peak, which coincided with the electoral period for mayors and councilors of Brazilian municipalities. In the year 2021, there is another wave of mortality that overlaps the numbers of deaths previously recorded, becoming the peak of the pandemic throughout the period studied. The high demand and unpreparedness for such a serious proportion of the COVID-19 caused the collapse of the public and private health system, leading to high mortality rates in several regions of Brazil. |
