The Covid-19 pandemic offers a good opportunity for reflection on communication, journalism and health. This article sought to analyze how Folha de S. Paulo reported to Covid-19 in the first three months of the pandemic. It was a qualitative approach investigation and documentary support that analyzed the titles of articles published from January 1st to March 31st, 2020. The data were analyzed from the perspective of content analysis. The results showed that there was the construction of a narrative that sought to associate the virus with China, contributing to situations of xenophobia, and that the disease was thought of as a distant problem. It was also evident that, at least in the first moments, economic aspects gained greater visibility, with a clear association between health guidelines and the financial market, with little attention to the social determinants of health.
