RESUMEN
Since their proposal in 2016, the FAIR principles have been largely discussed by different communities and initiatives involved in the development of infrastructures to enhance support for data findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reuse. One of the challenges in implementing these principles lies in defining a well-delimited process with organized and detailed actions. This paper presents a workflow of actions that is being adopted in the VODAN BR pilot for generating FAIR (meta)data for COVID-19 research. It provides the understanding of each step of the process, establishing their contribution. In this work, we also evaluate potential tools to (semi)automatize (meta)data treatment whenever possible. Although defined for a particular use case, it is expected that this workflow can be applied for other epidemical research and in other domains, benefiting the entire scientific community.
RESUMEN
The COVID-19 pandemic and the global actions to address it have highlighted the importance of clinical care data for more detailed studies of the virus and its effects. Extracting and processing such data, in terms of confidentiality issues, is a challenge. In addition, the mechanisms necessary for their publication are aimed at reuse in research to better understand the effects of this pandemic or other viral outbreaks. This paper describes a modular, scalable, distributed, and flexible platform, based on a generic architecture, to promote the publication of FAIR clinical research data. This platform collects heterogeneous data from Electronic Health Records, transforms these data into interconnected and interoperable (meta)data that are processable by software agents, and publishes them through technological solutions such as repositories and FAIR Data Point.

RESUMEN
Brazilian tourism has experienced the restrictions on mobility and new rigid health procedures as a result of the COVID-19. pandemic The present research aimed at analysing the impacts of coronavirus on tourism as based on the perceptions of specialists in the area, as given live on the social network In eta gram and in interviews. In order to study the impacts, an exploratory qualitative approach was chosen, using the techniques of net(h)nography. Thus, of the results obtained, the study highlights the understanding that post-COVID-19 tourism will recover at a slower pace than other sectors of the economy acquiring formats that privilege domestic tourism, requiring public managers to exercise perspicacity in development and management processes that allow tourist destinations to adapt to the new market demands.

RESUMEN
The challenges faced by the municipal education network in Araguatins, State of Tocantins, during the coronavirus pandemic, are similar to the problems that have been occurring in schools in all parts of the world. Unesco makes a list of 13 adverse consequences of the closure of schools, which can be observed on a planetary level. We conducted a survey to analyze the levels of the impact of the pandemic of the COVID-19 virus on the basic education system in Araguatins, according to global standards. The survey was directed to 100% of the principals, coordinators and teachers, and to 5% of the students / guardians of the 20 schools in the network. The results show that there was an evasion of about 33% of students, but that there was also the engagement of professionals in the format of remote education mediated by technology. With the research, we hope to provide a reliable basis for guiding actions in the new school setting.
RESUMEN
Late in 2020, two genetically-distinct clusters of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) with mutations of biological concern were reported, one in the United Kingdom and one in South Africa. Using a combination of data from routine surveillance, genomic sequencing and international travel we track the international dispersal of lineages B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 (variant 501Y-V2). We account for potential biases in genomic surveillance efforts by including passenger volumes from location of where the lineage was first reported, London and South Africa respectively. Using the software tool grinch (global report investigating novel coronavirus haplotypes), we track the international spread of lineages of concern with automated daily reports, Further, we have built a custom tracking website (cov-lineages.org/global_report.html) which hosts this daily report and will continue to include novel SARS-CoV-2 lineages of concern as they are detected.
