Covid-19 and cybertransparency: right to information and transparency of public health information by the federal government on the internet

Abstract

This research aims to identify how the concept of cybertransparency can contribute to overcoming health crises, as occurred during the covid-19 pandemic in Brazil. Used the qualitative research method and carried out documentary and bibliographic analysis of judicial decisions relating to the right to publicity and transparency and covid-19; reports produced within the scope of the Covid CPI, and; scientific works and articles that support it, especially the theoretical model of cybertransparency developed by Têmis Limberger. Their results demonstrate that the concept of cybertransparency is still developing in Brazil; its use can avoid legislative innovations that obscure Public Administration, such as omitting epidemiological data produced in health crises, and; it can prove useful in monitoring public acts and expenditures, and in educating and training citizens to engage in the political life of society and be prepared to face new health crises.
