A case of pneumonia with unknown etiology appears in China, where the cause was identified as a new coronavirus.Diagnostic tests for COVID-19 have stood out in the pandemic as an essential tool for tracking the spread of the disease. The present work aims to trace the epidemiological profile of the new coronavirus in patients who sought care at the Hospital das Clínicas of the University of Medicine of Marilia.1200 records of individuals who underwent the COVID-19 test at HC FAMEMA were analyzed, from August to February 2021. A statistically significant difference was observed in the mean age between patients with detectable and undetectable tests. A significant association was also observed in the analysis of the relationship of frequency distribution between age group and COVID-19 test. A significant association between detectable testing and hospitalization was observed, as well as a significant association between detectable testing for COVID-19 and the presence of diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. Through the present work, it was possible to better understand the practical interrelationships of the pandemic focused on the clinical and epidemiological aspects of patients and employees treated at HCFAMEMA.
