Brazil faces the biggest health and hospital crisis in its history. On the night of 26/03/2021, 3,158 lives were lost in just twenty-four hours. The gloomy record reflects the country's lack of control of the pandemic, with almost 300,000 fatalities from Covid-19.

The SARS-CoV-2 lineage was disseminated (The technical note notes the detection of two replacement events for the main circulating lineages in Amazonas: B.1.195 to B.1.1.28 and to P.1.)
The second wave coincides with the emergence of the variant of concern (VOC) P.1, which evolved from a group of species with a unique common ancestor B.1.1.28 local in late November and quickly replaced the lineage in less than two months[4]
Summary
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), characterized as a pandemic, has been causing a global recession in the economic and health systems[1,2,3]. These data provide unique insights into the mechanisms behind the epidemic waves of COVID-19 and the risk of spreading SARS-CoV-2 VOC P.1 in Brazil and potentially worldwide[4]. We are left with the immediate and unrestricted implementation of social distance and the use of easy masking as non-pharmacological measures to combat COVID-19.
