We obtained 144 documents that were analyzed in full, presented in flowchart and Descending Hierarchical Classification, this generated by IRaMuTeQ software. Results: the Descending Hierarchical Classification generated six classes condensed into: COVID-19 in Brazil, social scope, public management, economy in the pandemic and direction of health care. The decisions focused on recognizing the existence of the pandemic scenario and establishing the creation of committees for management and coping, management of hospital inputs, redefinition of goals related to health indicators and combating violence.
