Abstract

Objective: To describe the evolutions and repercussions of one year after the first case of SARS-CoV-22 in the State of Pará, Brazil. Methods: This is an epidemiological-descriptive study of confirmed cases and deaths by COVID-19 in the State of Pará, Brazil, in a period of 1 year. Results: There were 420,372 cases, with the highest prevalence of confirmed cases in females (53.4%), and deaths in males (60.1%). It is possible to analyze the municipalities with the most confirmed cases, evidencing the capital of Pará, Belém (20.45%). Young adult individuals were the most affected by the disease (23.5%), however, the prevalence of deaths was higher in the age group 70 to 79 years (26.7%), related to comorbidities with higher rates, such as heart diseases (43%) and diabetes (33%). Associated with these conjunctions, there was an increase in the need for intensive care (87.63%). Conclusion: It is believed that with the identification and clarification of epidemiological data about COVID-19, it is possible to reflect on the conditions and notifications of cases in the state, being effective in portraying morbidity and mortality rates. In addition, the indicators of confirmed cases in the state demonstrate the need for redoubled care, both by the population and the authorities.
