Abstract

Since the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has mobilized scientists worldwide. This research used the Imperial College London mathematical model to develop an information system with demographic data from all Brazilian municipalities in order to inform the number of beds demanded in different isolation scenarios, early and late and publication in site https://covid-19.ufsj.tech permitting easily access by ordinary citizens and decision makers, helping in science popularization and information’s production to deal with COVID-19 pandemic. After three months since site publication, 2,600 users of a wide age group and 282 municipalities made 8,700 consultations for the number of beds in published site. On average, users made 3.4 consultations in 2.3 minutes. The information available and the ease of obtaining it allow to classify the site as a timely tool for science’s divulgation and also to public policies’ support, since ordinary citizens and decision makers can better understand some of the consequences of different decisions about social isolation during COVID-19 pandemic.
