Abstract

Objective: To analyze the magnitude of the New Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the State of São Paulo (SSP) in the first two months of the epidemic after the confirmation of the first case. Method: Ecological, descriptive study, considering the confirmed cases of COVID-19 captured by the SSP Epidemiological Surveillance Center for the period from February 26 to April 26, 2020. Result: It was found that the municipality of São Paulo presented a greater number of cases (13,989) and deaths (1,172). However, it was not the municipality that presented the highest magnitude for health indicators of COVID-19 incidence rate, mortality and lethality. Conclusion: Um explanation for such results is the lack of testing of COVID-19 in the municipalities studied. The potential of the epidemic is still of particular concern, given the large number of people potentially susceptible to COVID19 and the magnitude of the epidemic that extrapolates world indicators in some locations.
