Description
Summary:Members of Afro-Brazilian religions reacted immediately and unanimously to the spread of Covid-19 in Brazil, following the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO). Their strategies developed to face the different needs of their members and the population, that appeared during the crisis (sanitary and socioeconomic). They intensified communications through social networks and the Internet, expanded their social actions in the community in which they are inserted and performed rituals and prayers in order to ask for protection, healing and expulsion of Covid-19 from Earth. Acceptance and valorization of science are part of a non-exclusive medical rationality, based on ethical and cosmological values and principles transmitted and kept alive in the terreiros.
