The project extends the Blavatnik School's Covid-19 Government Response Tracker to assess public policy responses to COVID-19 from Brazilian subnational governments.
Project overview
Extending the data from the Blavatnik School's Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker to Brazilian states and cities, this project examines how Brazilian subnational COVID-19 response policies have affected mobility and citizen behaviour, and assesses the risk of openness in each subnational jurisdiction and their response alongside WHO criteria.
O projeto examina as políticas de resposta à COVID-19 adotadas pelos governos federal, estaduais e municipais em mais de 50 cidades brasileiras, com base no sistema de codificação do Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker, adaptado ao contexto brasileiro.
Os dados são atualizados em tempo real e estão disponíveis gratuitamente no GitHub do projeto, juntamente com informações detalhadas em português.
The Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker’s Brazil subnational data and its indices for the federal government, state governments, and governments of more than 50 cities are freely available online.
The Tracker subnational data for Brazil is updated in real-time and will be continuously refined and improved throughout the crisis.
The project is run in partnership with Rio de Janeiro’s EBAPE-FGV, the University of São Paulo, and the State University of Pará.
Meet the contributors
Full Brazilian subnational level data
- See the latest press release about the updates on the Brazilian sub-national Covid-19 policy responses, also available in Portuguese.
Download the data
- The most recent full dataset is available using our API or as a CSV of the data on GitHub, where we also make available survey data used in our working papers.
- Our codebook on Github explains the definitions for each variable and you can read here how we calculate the different indices.
Main findings
- For a full description of the data and our main findings, read the working paper Brazil’s fight against COVID-19: risk, policies, and behaviours, in English and in Portuguese.
- We calculated the Risk of Openness Index for Brazilian states and cities. The index aims to help governments to understand if it is safe to ‘open up’ or whether they should ‘close down’ in their fight to tackle the coronavirus. See the full dataset on GitHub. Note that the Risk of Openness Index and associated plots should be interpreted in light of our survey findings and mobility analyses, which indicate that citizens are shifting how they respond to government response policies over time.
- Download the latest city reports, summarising recent changes in government responses. These summaries are available for São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, Goiânia, Salvador, Recife, Fortaleza, Belém and Manaus.
