- Abstract
The cooperative federalism present in the 1988 Constitution is the most recommended model for the containment of the pandemic caused by COVID-19. In this structure, the Federal Union has fundamental action as coordinator of policies at the national level. However, in the opposite direction, the Brazilian federal government has led us to a non-cooperative and conflictive federalism. In front of this scenario of pandemia and interfederative conflicts, the cities are the most vulnerable entities technically and financially, however they were extremely demanded, in special face to the federal inaction, to take necessary and urgent measures to minimize the economic, social and health effects provoked by the sanitary crisis. The present research, of exploratory bias, tried to make a literature review - based on the legal doctrine and interdisciplinary studies launched mostly during the pandemic - about the financial situation of the municipalities previously and during the pandemic, with the purpose to relate it to the weakening of the cooperative federalism and the degree of social vulnerability of these cities, in order to verify if it is possible to identify them as possible factors that contributed to the lack of control of COVID-19 in Brazil. It was concluded that, based on the theoretical basis adopted, it is possible to associate these factors to the high rate of contamination and deaths in the pandemic.
