This research aims to identify the vulnerability associated with health and the social and economic dimensions of the residents of the neighborhoods of Fortaleza, capital and epicenter of the state of Ceará regarding the Covid-19 pandemic. As methodological aspects, an exploratory-descriptive study with quantitative nature measured the vulnerability of neighborhoods in the city of Fortaleza in three stages: i. Wide Vulnerability – consisting of employment bonds, annual income and extreme poverty present in each neighborhood; ii. Territorial Vulnerability – formed by aspects related to the economic and sociodemographic spheres; iii. Vulnerability of Health Conditions – constituted, in addition to previous vulnerabilities, by factors such as offering health services. The results of the mapping highlighted the economic and social division present in Fortaleza. While the wealthiest neighborhoods stand out in the analysis for presenting a high economic vulnerability, linked to production, the poorest ones stand out for their high social vulnerability. This discrepancy raises the possibility of two distinct pandemic crises requiring the formulation of completely different strategies to prevent their progress. In addition, there is a further concern related to the fight against Covid-19 in Special Zones of Social Interest, social contexts marked by poverty and precarious public structure.
