Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the inequalities in health care access in Brazil, exarcerbating vulnerabilities and social determinants of health. Inequality is part of the context of rural populations, especially rural workers and family and subsistence farmers due to both the direct consequences of work activity and the unfavorable socioeconomic context, especially regarding service provision, the guaranteeing of rights, and the coordination of care networks. This article reviews challenges to the health of these workers and outlines proposals for disease prevention in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.<br />Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest: None.
