ABSTRACT

Introduction: Despite the contention of the COVID-19 epidemic, high-risk behaviors are observed in Holguín, so there is a likelihood of a new outbreak characterized by an increase in the lethality and mortality of this disease.
Objective: To develop an effective surveillance system to guarantee prevention and ensure early detection and diagnosis of a possible case of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Method: A population intervention project was carried out at the campus of the Faculty of Medical Sciences "Mariana Grajales Cuello" of Holguín, from September 2020 and throughout 2021, which consisted in the design of a surveillance system based on a methodology validated by the National School of Public Health of Cuba, by Dr. Edilberto González Ochoa, and it was enriched with the inclusion of the community subsystem.
Results: The surveillance system was characterized by the active and systematic search for suspicious cases with a risk-based approach, daily observation of compliance with biosecurity measures (the use of masks and social distancing) and the use of the sentinel modality as a complement to surveillance.
Conclusions: The surveillance system designed is sensitive and specific for COVID-19. It allows for the timely detection of the appearance of suspicious cases of this disease and at the same time the formulation of appropriate measures for its prevention and control.
