This work aimed to understand how Brazilian municipalities have been disclosing information on the novel Coronavirus pandemic. Starting from a representative sample of urban and rural municipalities according to Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) typology, it analyzes active and passive transparency aspects based on the search for information on institutional websites and responses to requests for access to information. Next, it presents descriptive statistics for the collected data, identifying the transparency profile of data related to the virus in the municipalities. It was possible to observe problems related to the quality of the information provided and a very low rate of responses to the information access requests. With regard to data on expenses and revenues to fight Coronavirus, most municipalities make this information available due to the approval of the Law 13,979/2020, exemplifying the importance of legislation to guide the municipalities and of legal factors on the transparency levels observed in the analyzed case. Also, it finds that the studied municipalities show a high rate of use of social networks to disseminate information related to COVID-19.
