VILELA GARCIA, Júlia. “Com essa pandemia tudo ficou difícil”:IMPLICAÇÕES DA PANDEMIA DE COVID-19 NA VIDA DE CRIANÇAS COM SÍNDROME CONGÊNITA DO ZIKA VÍRUS NO RECIFE (BRASIL). Avá [online]. 2020, n.37, pp.125-152.  Epub July 23, 2020. ISSN 1851-1694.

The COVID-19 pandemic started in China and demanded urgent measures to control its spread, institutionalizing new forms of life that were praised by WHO, and gradually became a model for global health policy. Despite the success of the measures in China, this article proposes to think, in light of another epidemic - the Zika Virus in Brazil - if these measures are relevant to save lives. Based on the report of mothers of children with Congenital Zika Virus Syndrome, who had their therapies and medical appointments suspended as a result of the pandemic, and from the efforts of anthropological research, I investigate how these new forms of life impact and reconfigure the routines and vital norms of these children who depend on mobility around the city to carry out their treatments and frequent medical appointments.

Keywords : COVID-19; Zika Virus; Congenital Zika Syndrome; Anthropology.
