FOOD INSECURITY IN RETUM TO PESENCIAL CLASSES IN A PROPER SANITAION NULLITY SCENARIO

Abstract

Current context of the pandemic has proposed several changes in the daily life of Brazilians. The change from face-to-face classes to remote classes and the long period of time in this model caused social disruption, which led to the federal government to start a process to carry out protocols for returning to face-to-face classes. However, the protocols start from the idea that the water used to sanitize people, food and places is treated, which cannot be ensured throughout the national territory, since there are several places where there is not adequate basic sanitation. In addition, a study demonstrates the gastrointestinal activity of SARS-CoV-2, which may indicate a possible fecal-oral infection. The purpose of this bibliographic review is to demonstrate that the fecal-oral transmission of SARS-CoV-2 has not yet been ruled out and the necessity to pay attention to places where there is no basic sanitation or inefficient basic sanitation, hence there may be outbreaks of infection and re-infection by getting in contact with the virus in untreated water. As long as the possibility of Covid-19 fecal-oral infection is not completely ruled out, there is no way to guarantee a safe return to school, even if the protocols are strict.
