In late 2019, the world discovered that a new virus was causing a new respiratory syndrome, whose starting point was the province of Wuhan, China. Because it is very transmissible, it was not possible to contain the epidemic that was soon classified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Every country on the globe was affected, millions lost their lives. At the end of 2020, the vaccine was discovered, but the whole world needed to manage a production chain of resources and inputs to fight the pandemic. Strategic management has become an indispensable tool for disease control. In view of this, this study proposes to analyze the relationship between the strategic management to combat the pandemic in the municipality of Ipatinga/MG, Brazil, and the chain of resources and inputs necessary for this. The research is based on descriptive and analytical, qualitative, documentary and bibliographic nature. The referenced data is of a secondary nature. The object of study is the relationship between the strategic management of the pandemic at the municipal level with the use of resources from the State and the Union, as well as the production chain of inputs, generated through the use of these resources, and how this chain was influenced by the strategy to combat the pandemic adopted in the municipality. After analyzing secondary data from the three levels of government, it was considered that there is a direct relationship between the strategic management of the fight against the pandemic and the effectiveness of the management of the chain of resources.
