How Community Health Workers are facing COVID-19 Pandemic in Brazil: Personal Feelings, Access to Resources and Working Process
Fernandez Michelle, Lotta Gabriela
Abstract
CHWs feel scared and unprepared in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The fear of COVID-19 is related to being prepared and to receiving support from federal government. The feeling of preparedness is associated with the lack of material working conditions, such as PPEs, guidance from managers and support from superiors and federal government.
