Objective: to characterize the epidemiological event by COVID-19 clinically and epidemiologically in the Camilo Cienfuegos community of Consolación del Sur.
Methods: an observational, descriptive, longitudinal and prospective investigation was carried out in the period from March to May 2020 in the referred community, declared in epidemiological quarantine, with 10 confirmed cases of the disease. The epidemiological spider, the chronopatogram and the location map of the positive cases were made.
Results: in the socio-demographic characterization of the community, the male sex predominated, the age group from 0 to 19 years, the mode of infection introduced, the Cuban nationality, the favorable evolution of the disease, and the short incubation period. The health actions implemented in the early stages of coping with the disease were described.
Conclusions: the epidemiological event by COVID-19 was characterized clinically-epidemiologically, the importance of an adequate implementation of the plans described for the control of the disease was shown, and that prevention from Primary Health Care is essential.
