Show authors biography
Introduction: coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by a novel coronavirus. The World Health Organization (WHO) was aware of cases of pneumonia of unknown microbial etiology associated with the city of Wuhan, province of Hubei, China, on December 31 2019. Objective: to present the trend of COVID-19 disease one year after the first positive case was registered in Colombia. Methodology: this research work was carried out using a quantitative approach. Results: the monthly lethality rates for COVID-19 in Colombia were estimated. The highest lethality rate per 100 inhabitants occurred in April 2020 4.71%, in the first place, and in February 2021 3.68%. The highest incidence was reported in the months of January 2021 0.884% and December 2020 0.664%. The highest prevalence, the other epidemiological measure, was reported in early 2021 in the months of: January 4.1%, and February 4.41%. Conclusion: COVID-19 disease lethality, incidence and prevalence in Colombia have had a series of fluctuations since the first case was confirmed in our country. Now, as vaccination has begun, it offers the possibility of reducing contagion and mortality.
