Introduction:

There is information on the impact of pandemics on demographic dynamics. Contributing to policies to combat COVID-19 is a priority for the social sciences. Objective: Analyze the state of the variables mortality, migration, fertility and communication about population in the scenario of COVID-19 in Cuba.

Methods:

The main method is Demographic Analysis and Content Analysis. The fundamental sources of information come from different national information systems and bibliographic documents.

Results:

There are variations in the order of causes of death, and it seems that the existence of the same risk pattern of dying from Covid19 for all ages does not differ from the normal risk of mortality in general. Emigration represents a complexity factor during the health crisis caused by COVID-19, for the design of a policy of closure or control of international borders. Havana presents a complex situation due to its characteristics as the capital of the country. In Cuba, the downward trend in fertility continues, with a slow decrease in relation to the change in 2019. Adolescent fertility decreases in relation to previous years, but with a change that still expresses the resistance to decline of this indicator. Focusing on the construction of risk perception should be a priority in communication about population. As some conclusions the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on demographic dynamics and it´s expression in mortality, migration and fertility are inevitable. The year 2020 and part of 2021 show the response of these variables, considering that it´s mediated by a reality that precedes the pandemic period. Communication about the population becomes an important element to be incorporated, from the study of composition and dynamics to purposeful views.
