The study proposed in this article sought to highlight how the information generated in a Basic Health Unit (BHU) assist managers in their decisions involving control actions of the covid-19. The research was characterized as a mixed study, presenting quantitative and qualitative data, adopting as method the case study, covering the BHU of Fazenda Rio Grande municipality, in the state of Paraná. As a technological resource, the Google Forms® platform was used to prepare the questionnaire in electronic format later sent via e-mail. For statistical analysis, Excel® and SPSS® (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) software were applied, while for qualitative analysis, Atlas.ti® software was used, enabling the preparation of network maps and verification of respondents’ perceptions. These procedures enabled the researchers to establish different parameters that resulted in the conclusion of the work, identifying that even though there was a decentralization by establishing several points of care to the population identified as BHU, it was clear that they acted in a collaborative way during the pandemic, assuming a relevant role in the social context by mitigating social differences establishing a link between society and public health agencies.
