These actions were part of the mass testing schedule for the urban and rural population of the municipality, carried out through its Municipal Health Department, since the riverside residents also they deserve attention, as they are vulnerable and do not have frequent contact with communication vehicles that inform them of the current world scenario. Final considerations: The testing actions of Covid-19 in this population, enabled the immediate treatment of positive cases and consequently the reduction in the number of deaths. The performance of the students was of paramount importance for the maturation of skills and techniques, as future health professionals, thus contributing to the municipality at a time when joint efforts are needed to reduce the spread of the virus.
