Introduction: As the COVID-19 virus continues to infect people around the world, much is still unknown about the long-term effects in recovered patients. There are reports of confirmed COVID 19 patients who experience lingering symptoms even three months after their initial recovery. Objective: to estimate the measures of frequency of prevalence, mortality and lethality of COVID-19 in the twenty localities of Bogota. Methodology: The database including people who were infected and have died from COVID-19 disease was used for the research, with the information accumulated for Bogota up to August 20 2020. Results: It was determined that the locality with the highest prevalence was Sumapaz with 28.47%, the locality with the highest mortality rate, was Tunjuelito with a rate of 0.9 and the locality with the highest percentage of lethality per 100 inhabitants, was also Tunjuelito, with a rate of 3.6. Conclusions: There has been a gradual increase in COVID-19 infections in the city of Bogotá throughout 2020. A total of 179.540 positive cases were registered as to August 21 2020, accounting for 34.95% of the national case tally. The trend of positive cases, mortality and lethality, will steadily rise until a definitive solution to the pandemic caused by this virus is found.
