- Abstract
Objective: To carry out a comparative analysis of the distribution of severe cases by Covid-19 in Paraíba. Method: Ecological, descriptive, time series study, based on epidemiological information from Covid-19 in Paraíba. Data were all severe cases of Covid-19, in the period between the 7th epidemiological week of 2020, which registered the first case, until the 21st week of 2021. Data were processed and graphed for further analysis. Results: There was a rapid evolution of severe cases from the 21st epidemiological week of 2020, but the year ended with a downward trend for these cases. After an increase in 2021, a downward trend can be seen at the end of the first semester. Conclusion: Understanding Covid-19 transmission patterns, adopting preventive control measures do not guarantee the interruption of the disease's spread. Immunization against Covid-19 is already beginning to reveal results that indicate a possible exit from the current pandemic.
