Abstract

The dynamics of the covid-19 pandemic has evolved according to phases marked by a higher or lower rate of infection, the different impacts on the health system and mortality. These phases were studied according to four indicators made available by the MonitoraCovid-19 system: positivity rates of diagnostic tests, number of cases, number of deaths and number of people who received at least two vaccine doses, standardized in a historical series to allow their comparison. Five phases are discerned, evidenced by the circulation of different virus variants, strategies employed to implement -or even undermine – disease control measures and the gradual vaccination of the population. These indicators can be used in the future to monitor trends and point out appropriate public policies.
