Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic in the city of Natal, RN, considering the age group of patients affected by the disease and their possible comorbidities, through epidemiological indicators. Therefore, we took a retrospective approach of the numbers, highlighting the prevalence of COVID-19, from the confirmed cases in the year 2020 until the date of January 26, 2021. This is a study with a transversal methodology, of a qualitative and quantitative nature. Patient documents were sought in the Epidemiological Bulletin of the Public Health Secretariat (SESAP/RN), Central Laboratory (LACEN/RN), Kaggle - Coronavirus Brazil, Ministry of Health (MH) Department of Primary Care (DPC), National Registry of Health Facilities (NRHF), SUS Virtual Learning Environment at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (AVASUS/UFRN), Google COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports, Inter- American Development Bank (IDB) in the Coronavirus Impact Panel. In Brazil there are already more than 9,834,513 confirmed cases and almost 239,245 thousand deaths (data collected until February 15, 2021) and in the state of Rio Grande do Norte (RN) there are 147,631 confirmed new cases and 3,381 deaths (data from February 15, 2021). The current scenario requires preventive actions of self-care and collective protection, so that, in this way, there is a reduction in the risks of the virus infecting people from the most vulnerable groups, but this requires the involvement of the mass population.
