Brazilian municipal health policies during the COVID-19 pandemic

Brazil was one of the countries most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in Latin America and the world considering the number of cases, deaths, and the duration of lockdowns. Between 2020 and 2022, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs) were adopted at the municipal level, with 5,568 municipalities and the Federal District taking health-related actions. We present a new dataset revealing the complexity of this situation by reporting data based on thirty-seven surveys taken by mayors between 23 March 2021 and 24 March 2022.
