- Abstract
Objectives: To analyze the temporal evolution of COVID-19 and to identify the mortality rate due to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in health professionals in Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional ecological study, using secondary data in the year 2020. Information related to the numbers of deaths, confirmed cases and investigations by COVID-19 were collected. Results: From January to August, 1,241,685 cases of COVID-19 and 4,615 of Respiratory Syndrome were confirmed among professionals. Of these, 991 died, which resulted in a lethality rate of 0.79 / 1,000. There was an increase of 28.7% in the number of cases, between June and August, while, in August, there was a reduction of 33.16%. Pearson's analysis showed that significant correlations were between deaths due to COVID-19 and Respiratory Syndrome. Conclusions: The results, in addition to revealing the real magnitude of the risks faced by this group, present the alert to the public authorities, in all its spheres.
