This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

RESUMO
The estimation of epidemiological parameters (e.g., R0) is an important aspect to mitigate the effects of infectious diseases. With the development of phylodynamic approaches, now it's possible estimating of epidemiological parameters directly from phylogenetic trees. Here, phylodynamic approaches are used to infer epidemiological parameters from Brazilian SARS-CoV-2 genomes. This study reports a decrease in Re to 1.17 (occurred around mid-March). Re = 1.17 is a value similar to previous reports of R using classical epidemiological approaches and shows evidence of the growth of SARS-CoV-2 in Brazil.
