Summary

Brazil has the Latin America's largest coronavirus outbreak, numbers second only to the United States in the western hemisphere. The first COVID-19 confirmed case in Brazil was on February of 2020. A 61yrs old man tested positive after returning from a trip to Italy. Few other very first cases were also imported from Europe by returning travelers. The first locally transmitted case was registered on March of 2020, when a total of 8 cases have already been confirmed. At the time the WHO declares the outbreak as a pandemic (March 11) Brazil had 52 confirmed cases being 6 of those locally transmitted.

Healthcare professionals are now more important than ever. Given the intrinsic nature of the hands-on treatment of the Chiropractic profession, it is extremely important to understand what strategies chiropractors have put in place to address patient care, safety, and self report COVID contamination of those professionals.
