The Covid-19 crisis has mobilized the whole world, and many U.S. companies are engaged in initiatives to help combat the impacts of the pandemic globally. Some of them are present in Brazil and have partnered with local governments and organizations to implement campaigns and make donations in money, services and equipment. The aim is to help enhance the Brazilian healthcare system capacity and support the most vulnerable population to cope with their challenges in following measures of social distancing, hygiene and protection, as well as economic insecurity.
The United States government and private sector are strongly committed to helping the Brazilian people to combat COVID-19 in Brazil and together have already made available approximately US$ 75 million (approximately R$ 414 million) in a series of initiatives, including donation of health equipment, food, hygiene products and individual protection, in addition to projects to support entrepreneurs, artificial intelligence, and combating disinformation.
