Abstract: 

The COVID-19 pandemic hit the transport sector alarmingly, causing damage throughout Brazil. To minimize economic damage to the transport sector, in addition to preserving the health of the population, this study aimed to survey biosafety measures through the biosafe system, which minimize the risks of contagion by COVID-19 in road transport in passengers in the Brazilian Amazon. Through a survey of buses with the biosafe system, which operate in the road transport of passengers traveling interstate in the Amazon region of Brazil, the criteria registered by the World Health Organization for the prevention of the virus were certified. For each criterion, a survey of a biosafety measure was carried out. To protect the contagion areas, the use of a mask inside the bus was mandatory, hand hygiene was performed using gel alcohol dispersers, the distance was performed by readjusting the layout in individual seats, disinfection of the environment with ultraviolet light technology and health conditions of passengers with measurement of body temperature upon boarding. The application of the biosafe system in the road transport of passengers is important to guarantee the quality of life and well-being, preventing the spread of COVID-19 among passengers.
