Abstract

In this reflection we adopted the propositions of Milton Santos’s social theory of space to relate the pandemic and globalization. The expansion of the new coronavirus in Brazil was enhanced by the country’s economic and social crisis. Due to the vulnerability in the labour market, income and unemployment, the pandemic found fertile ground to amplify the social crisis, the example of the city of Manaus (Amazon).
