Abstract

Because of the new coronavirus, also with COVID-19, we are incorporating new words and concepts in our daily lives, duly appropriate in linguistics. In the environment of the "new normal, flatten the curve, asymptomatic, comorbidity, community transmission, herd immunity, lockdown, quarantine, social distancing, live and home office", besides other terms, constitutes a common and assimilated glossary by society. Times of crisis are usually accompanied by a leap in intellectual and technological innovation, as we look back to the two world wars and the pandemic because of the new coronavirus. The revision of the literature from the bibliographical research in editorial database, related around infographic, especially in the context of production of descriptive documents, reveals the almost non-existence of produced material. With the developments that occurred with the closure of cultural institutions, such as museum and library, daily news with the theme of pandemic and social isolation, the research option was directed to organs and entities of information dissemination containing infographics. It can be considered that the exploratory research, carried out in virtual and remote format presents results that justify the technical and theoretical treatment related to the effect caused by the coronavirus and/or COVID-19, without the objective of comparison.
