Objective: track hearings, public events, complaints, judgments, and protective measures within the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) to analyze its deliberations in cases related to COVID -19. Methods: this is a documentary and descriptive study based on the analysis of documents related to the pandemic COVID -19, available on the IACHR website. The preliminary cut covered the period from March 2020, the beginning of the pandemic, to June 2021. Results and discussion: based on the data collected in eight precautionary measures, seven thematic categories were identified for discussion: Indigenous Peoples and COVID -19; Persons Deprived of Liberty and COVID -19; Persons with Disabilities and COVID -19; Health Services and COVID -19; Corruption during the Pandemic; Access to Justice during the Pandemic; and Access to Information during the Pandemic. Conclusion: it became clear that the pandemic affected vulnerable populations and that the states studied took inadequate measures to contain the virus and ensure people's human rights.
