Brazil is the third country in the world in number of cases and the second in relation to the accumulated deaths of COVID-19 until April 2, 2022. As it is a pandemic, being at the top of this ranking should be a cause for concern. Studies are scarce regarding the number of cases and deaths in health professionals, who are at high risk of exposure to the infection. Therefore, this work aims to quantify the number of cases of COVID-19 and deaths of SARS by COVID-19 in doctors, nurses and technicians or nursing assistants from June 28, 2020 to April 2, 2022, to calculate the case fatality rate, obtained by the number of SARS deaths from COVID-19 divided by the confirmed cases of COVID-19 in healthcare professionals. This is an epidemiological, observational and cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach and descriptive nature, taking place through documentary research combined with bibliographic research. In addition to adopting the statistical analysis of secondary public data collected in an electronic database from the Health Surveillance Department of the Ministry of Health, a review of the medical literature related to the topic published in the VHL and PubMed was used to discuss the analyzed data. The results obtained show an upward trend in the historical series of the fatality rate, significantly higher than the fatality rate of the world and Brazilian population in general. Noting that the case fatality rate was higher among nursing technicians or assistants during the pandemic in Brazil.
