Medical - Safety / General
English term or phrase: derailed mitigation efforts
"derailed mitigation efforts" -> would an exact translation such as "descarrilou esforços de mitigação" be acceptable here, given that no technical term was used? This refers to efforts to prevent wildfires

Ah, tem razão — nesse caso, é só mudar pra verbo então: A pandemia de covid-19 frustrou as tentativas de controle/atenuação :)

Asker: Hi Matheus! Thanks a lot for replying. Forgive me, it's actually not. I should have provided more contexts. The full sentence is "In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has derailed mitigation efforts"

afetou/perturbou os esforços de mitigação


Explanation:
Mitigação de riscos é uma expressão padrão no contexto de incêndios, etc.
