This scientific research analyzes which types of disputes were produced in the first two years of the pandemic in Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), based on the analysis of requests made in legal actions presented between 2020 and 2021 in which the object discussed was related to Covid-19. For that, starts from procedural information provided by the tool Painel de Ações Covid-19, provided by the court itself on your electronic portal, and the construction of a report with a group of representative samples of the population. The data was organized according to macrocategories created to allow the understanding of the types of disputes generated by the health crisis and the examination of the dynamics of these demands throughout the time frame. Reading the data reveals that there was an explosion of habeas corpus. The results also indicate that, with the exception of the aforementioned constitutional action, the most notable disputes involve requests that can be classified according to the following categories: serving a sentence, precautionary measures other than imprisonment and criminal prosecution; exercise of private activities; and functioning of the State and government actions.
