The COVID – 19 pandemic, the biggest sanitary event and with several implications in the world  socio-political scenario in the last century, brought with in the need to go beyond the premise of social distancing imposed as a sanitary measure to start articulating different actions. In this context, the experience reported here had the general objective of describing the strategies  developed by the State Primary Care Directorate (DAB) with Bahian municipalities to face the COVID – 19 pandemic. Some strategies were defined, among them, the redefinition of the space of the Collegiate of Primary Care Coordinators (COCAB),which started to happen on virtual platforms for meetings and with greater frequency; the implementation of Telehealth/BA, with more web lectures focused on topics related to the pandemic and teleinterconsultation for higher education professionals in Primary Care om post – COVID-19 care and rehabilitation, and the third strategy comprised the implementation of thecnology for active search of cases of Flu Syndrome, COVID-19 and SRAG, for early identification and better monitoring of the epidemiological situation. This thecnology was developed through Sheet B – Flu Syndrome (SG) and the Indicator Base System. The onset of the pandemic has required and innovative responses from DAB to the challenge of restructuring at this level of care, such as the use of information and communication technologies, which allowed for an even greater approximation of state management and municipalities, as well as allowing for better monitoring and support for actions at the local level. The three strategies have been shown to be of great relevance to support actions at the local level, from the perspective of strengthening actions aimed at primary care.
