Abstract
This article results from a research conducted in June and July 2020 with leaders of Brazilian religions of African matrix in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte. The objective of the research was to learn how the Candomble, Umbanda and Omoloco terreiros were facing the COVID-19 Pandemic. Due to the impossibility of visits and physical contact, the leaders were invited to answer questions presented in a Google Internet form, which was sent through social networks and made available on Facebook pages. The discussion resumed the history of exclusion experienced by a non-hegemonic religion, through narratives about the relationship between the health of the population and the healing practices of traditional medicine. The results demonstrate apprehensions, concerns, and the expectations in the post-pandemic.
