Abstract

Objective: to analyze the factors associated with agreement with the flexibility of protection measures in Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: cross-sectional study with data from a websurvey conducted with adults living in Brazil, between August 2020 and February 2021. Results: of the 1,516 respondents, the majority were aged between 40 and 59 years (38.8%), female (69.4%), graduate level (48%), white race/color (64.2%), separated/single (48.3%). Most participants agreed with the flexibility measures (41.1%), but considered the environments not suitable or inadequate for the resumption of daily activities (except for places open for physical activities). The measures implemented by the State during the COVID-19 pandemic were also seen as nothing and inadequate. There was a greater chance of agreement with the flexibility measures among people who lived with workers exposed to the risk of contracting COVID-19. Conclusion: em geral, houve concordância com as medidas de flexibilização no país. Morar/conviver com trabalhadores expostos ao risco de contrair a COVID-19 foi o principal fator associado à maior chance de concordar com as medidas de flexibilização, o que sinaliza a carga biopsicossocial trazida pela doença.
