Abstract

This is a qualitative study, seeking to understand in public governance whether there is transparency in communication between Government and society, specifically in the values ​​committed to facing the Covid-19 pandemic. The research is explanatory while it aims to demonstrate how public governance is applied and is also, in part, descriptive, as it also aims to describe the performance of government websites and their performance in effecting transparency in the digital environment. The approach method is hypothetical-deductive; since it tries to distort the information that the incorporation of governance in the Brazilian public administration brought greater efficiency in the transparency of the communication between the public power and society. The hypothesis is that the information exists, but that most citizens do not access the transparency portals, and the means of communication that the Government has. Regarding the technical procedures, this is a bibliographical research. By analyzing the information from these assumptions, the hypothesis raised was confirmed. However, it was found that the difficulty of communication between government and citizen is not in the lack of transparency of the State's information or lack of interest in relation to the information about the Coronavirus, but that, when searching for information, the transparency portal does not has been chosen as the first search source.
