Abstract
In the year in which the world "stopped" due to the pandemic, many people didn't have that option and had to keep moving as the only alternative to survive. One of the main destinations in South America, during the quarantine measures established around the world, was Brazil, especially because of the crisis Venezuela went through in the second half of the 2010s. Throughout the research, we observed measures that were applied by the Brazilian government on the grounds of public health issues or cases of health risks related to COVID-19. An analysis of the first measures published by the Brazilian government reveals an effort to securitize borders, which at the same time restricted the government's responsibility to fulfil its role of protecting migrants in need.
