The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) is characterized as a case of Flu Syndrome (SG), where the individual of any age presents the following signs and symptoms: high fever, even if referred, cough, dyspnea, myalgia, sore throat, saturation O2 <95%, respiratory distress, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue and others. This is a cross-sectional study, developed from the SRAG notification forms, referring to the number of cases involving SRAG, obtained through the Epidemiological Surveillance Center of the Provisório do Recife Hospital 2- COVID-19 of the State of Pernambuco, Brazil, from April to September 2020. 1,592 SRAG notification forms and their respective results were analyzed by the Epidemiological Surveillance Nucleus of Hospital Provisório do Recife 2- COVID-19. The average age of reported cases was 30 to 130 years. The highest frequency grouped by age was among the elderly (≥ 70 years) in 358 (15.1%) cases, followed by 51-60 years in 309 (14.3%) cases, 71-80 years in 296 (13.0 %) cases, 41-50 years in 195 (%) cases, 81-90 years in 189 (%) cases, 31-40 years in 134 (%) cases, 21-30 years in 49 (%) cases, 91- 100 years in 44 cases and 101-130 years in 2 (%) cases. In view of the pandemic scenario experienced in Pernambuco, quick solutions were taken, the COVID -19 field hospital located in the city of Recife with the largest number of beds among the others, was a great example of measures to contain the deficit of hospital beds in Pernambuco.
