• Abstract:

  Introduction: The SARS-CoV2 coronavirus (COVID-19) required adaptation from healthcare professionals, with specific interventions and measures to reduce the transmissibility of the disease.
  Objective/s: Evaluate the intervention of the District Hospital in the center of the country in the fight against COVID-19;
  Methods: Quantitative, retrospective and descriptive study with 430 users, from March 2020 to March 2021
  Results: HD1's intervention was important in the treatment of users positive for COVID-19, requiring hospitalization. Through the use of treatments using non-invasive ventilation, a greater number of transfers to the ICU and deaths were avoided
  Conclusion: HD1 had a significant intervention, allowing general urgency and respiratory urgency triage. The majority of people with an episode of respiratory urgency did not test positive for COVID-19. The majority of users who were positive for COVID-19 did not require hospitalization and those who required hospitalization were discharged from the hospital.
