Avaliação dos casos de Covid-19 em pacientes com comorbidades durante a pandemia, no período de 2020-2021, na perspectiva territorial dos municípios de Rio Branco e Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre

COVID-19 infected millions of people worldwide by 2021, leaving profound scars on their health and daily lives. After the initial period of infection, many patients experienced persistent symptoms that affected vital organs such as the heart, lungs, and muscles, in addition to compromising neurological and psychological areas, resulting in pain, fatigue, and significant limitations. This study aimed to investigate the consequences of COVID-19 on infected individuals, analyzing not only their physical health but also their comfort and quality of daily life. This intervention project is based on active methodologies, particularly problematization and the Maguerez Arc, developed from the observation of structured reality. The research was conducted through two complementary approaches: a literature review based on sources such as Google Scholar and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations; and the analysis of secondary data from the Cruzeiro do Sul Municipal Health Department and the Rio Branco Municipal Health Department, collected during the 2020-2021 pandemic period at a Basic Health Unit. The results show that respiratory diseases were the most common, as the lungs are the main target of the virus, causing disability, fatigue, and, in severe cases, pulmonary fibrosis. Given this scenario, the importance of physical therapists in the rehabilitation process stands out, as they are essential for reintegrating patients into social life and improving their quality of life.
