MOREJON GIRALDONI, Alain et al. Surveillance and control actions before notification of confirmed cases to COVID-19. Aguada de Pasajeros, Cienfuegos. Cuba. Medisur [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.4, pp.721-725.  Epub Aug 02, 2020. ISSN 1727-897X.

The epidemiological work to control the focus of an event produced by the presence of positive cases to COVID-19 in the Aguada de Pasajeros municipality, Cienfuegos, is presented. Within the epidemiological survey, 50 contacts were detected, four intradomiciliary and 46 extradomiciliary; all were isolated in hospitals for the care of cases and suspects. 50 real-time polymerase chain reaction tests were performed, of which only two were positive for SARS-CoV-2. All the measures corresponding to a focus control for this disease were taken and surveillance and control actions in the community were strengthened by performing 200 rapid IgM / IgG tests to detect the presence of viral circulation. The active investigation of symptomatic respiratory cases was reinforced.

Keywords : coronavirus infections; epidemiology; case report.
