- Abstract
Objective: to report care experiences of Primary Health Care nurses, in the city of Florianópolis/Santa Catarina, in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: this is a descriptive experience report about the organization and development of Primary Health Care nurses' work process in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: we described how the assessment and management of respiratory symptomatic people who sought primary care was carried out, the experience with testing and early detection of COVID-19, monitoring of suspected cases as a strategy to combat the pandemic, as well as nurses' role acting on all fronts of coping with the pandemic. Final considerations: nursing plays a fundamental role in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, linked to the use of a protocol and health care, thus assuming, for the most part, the front line of this scenario.
