Resumo: Introduction: The economic impact of the COVID-19’s pandemic and the interruption of several commercial activities is substantial. In Brazil, there is discussions about the need to establish periods of greater flexibility in measures of social isolation, to cover the economic’s impact in the country. In this context, effective Epidemiological Surveillance is essential. Objective: To analyze the epidemiological data of COVID-19 in Uberlândia and compare them to the municipal’s determinations of commercial opening and closing at different times of the pandemic. Methods: This is a descriptive observational epidemiological study, using secondary data, of public uses and access, of the cases notified by COVID-19 to the Municipal Health Department of Uberlândia, obtained through the Municipal Information Bulletin. Results: 59.994 tests were performed, being 14.389 positive (23.98%) and 45.605 negative (76.02%). There were 265 deaths and a fatality rate of 1.89%. The confirmed cases tended to grow after commercial openings and to stabilize after commercial closing, with a tendency to fall after the last commercial reopening, accompanied by accumulation of suspicious tests and drop in population testing. Among daily inpatients, there was a prevalence of men (59%), older than 60 years (55%) and those allocated to nursing beds (55%). Conclusion: From the analysis of the epidemiological data and the preliminary understanding of the impact of the measures adopted by the city, a significant influence of the commercial activity’s openness on the indicators of the disease was noticed. It was noticed that the frequency of positive tests and deaths increased, with maintenance of inpatients, which demonstrates the impact of this disease and the need to improve health surveillance actions in the control of the pandemic.

No Brasil, debate-se a necessidade de adoção de períodos de maior flexibilização nas medidas de isolamento social, visando garantir movimentação econômica no país. Para que isso seja possível, torna-se indispensável a atuação efetiva da Vigilância Epidemiológica. Objetivo: Analisar os dados epidemiológicos da COVID-19 em Uberlândia e confrontá-los com as determinações municipais de abertura e fechamento comerciais em diferentes momentos da pandemia. Metodologia: Trata-se um estudo epidemiológico observacional descritivo, utilizando dados secundários, de uso e acesso públicos, dos casos notificados da COVID-19 à Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de Uberlândia, obtidos por meio do Boletim Informativo Municipal. Resultados: Foram realizados 59.994 testes, sendo 14.389 positivos (23,98%) e 45.605 negativos (76,02%). Registraram-se 265 óbitos e taxa de letalidade de 1,89%. Casos confirmados apresentaram tendência de crescimento após aberturas comerciais e tendência de estabilização após fechamento comercial, com tendência de queda após a última reabertura comercial, acompanhada de acúmulo de testes suspeitos e queda da testagem populacional. Entre os internados diários, houve predomínio de homens (59%), maiores de 60 anos (55%) e alocados em leitos de enfermaria (55%). Conclusão: A partir da análise dos dados epidemiológicos e do entendimento preliminar do impacto das medidas adotadas pela prefeitura, foi percebida expressiva influência do grau de abertura comercial nos indicadores da doença, resultando no incremento da frequência de testes positivos e óbitos, com manutenção das internações, o que demostra o impacto dessa doença e a necessidade de aprimoramento das ações de vigilância em saúde no controle da pandemia.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2020-08-26info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/114310.1590/SciELOPreprints.1143porhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/1143/1717Copyright (c) 2020 Maria Fernanda Prado Rosa, William Nicoleti Turazza da Silv, Wellington Roberto Gomes de Carvalho, Stefan Vilges de Oliveirahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRosa, Maria Fernanda Prado Silva, William Nicoleti Turazza da Carvalho, Wellington Roberto Gomes de Oliveira, Stefan Vilges dereponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2020-08-25T19:06:50Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/1143Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2020-08-25T19:06:50SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse
