ABSTRACT:
The disease caused by the new coronavirus (COVID-19) has SARS-CoV-2 as its etiologic agent. Transmitted by the direct contact of a susceptible individual with perdigots expelled in the cough or sneeze of an infected individual. Objective: To demonstrate the incidence of deaths from COVID-19 in the state of Pará by the date of August 17, 2020. Methodology: A descriptive study was carried out with the survey of cases of death through the database of the Public Health Secretary of the State of Pará (SESPA) with the variables: city (with a number above 100 registered deaths), gender, age group and number of confirmed deaths per month. Results: Until August 17, 2020, of the 5,975 deaths, the highest number was in the municipality of Belém with 2,074 deaths, followed by Ananindeua (348) and Santarém (190). However, despite the municipality of Castanhal occupying the 4th position with the highest number of deaths (180), this one stands out for presenting the highest lethality rate with 9.32%. Of the affected population, the prevalent gender was male (63.1%), and with regard to the age group between genders, men and women over 70-79 years old were the most prevalent with 26.7% of deaths by COVID-19 during the study period. Conclusions: The data found in this investigation reinforce the weaknesses in the health sector and point out the lack of awareness of the population through the appearance of a new disease, facilitating the transmission of the virus and contributing to the increase in the number of deaths. Thus, active notification contributes to constant epidemiological surveillance and promotes measures for the prevention, control and management of SARS-CoV-2 infections in the state of Pará.
