ABSTRACT

Foundation: COVID-19 has forced the adoption of some measures and protocols to monitor patients and people at risk of contracting the disease. In Cuba and specifically in Cienfuegos, protocols are carried out for the isolation of contacts and suspects of the desease, in order to contribute to the containment of the epidemic.
Objective: To describe the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of the patients upon admission and during the isolation period.
Methods: descriptive analysis of all patients who were admitted to the “Filial de Ciencias Médicas” isolation center in March, who were contacts of positive and asymptomatic cases. The general and clinical-epidemiological data obtained from individual medical records and the registry of patients admitted in that center were taken into account.
Results: There was a total of 446 admissions, predominating ages between 40 and 59 years. All municipalities were representative, being Cienfuegos the one with the highest number of incomes. the38.8% suffered from non-communicable diseases, hypertension being the one with the highest prevalence. Most of the patients were asymptomatic. The most commonly reported symptoms were anxiety and / or depression followed by elevated blood pressure. Twelve patients were positive.
Conclusions: The isolation of the contacts of positive cases has been an effective strategy for the timely diagnosis of infections. This measure favors not only the immediate treatment of positive cases, but also prevents complications associated with comorbidities present in the population.
