Objetivo:  describir las experiencias en la implementación de un sistema de pesquisa activa comunitaria municipal para la COVID-19.  Métodos:  estudio prospectivo, descriptivo, de corte transversal realizado en el municipio de Cumanayagua, provincia Cienfuegos, Cuba, entre los días 19 de marzo y 17 de abril del 2020. El universo estuvo compuesto por todos los pobladores (48 412) y pesquizadores (627) en dicho período. Se hizo revisión de registros médicos, estadísticas municipales y se utilizó la observación participativa.  Resultados:  se describe la estructura de la pesquisa activa, su base desde el consultorio del médico-enfermero de familia y su forma, mediante entrevista a los pobladores en sus viviendas. Un total de 627 pesquisidores, principalmente profesionales de la salud (43,38 %) y estudiantes de medicina (33,33 %), evaluaron diariamente hasta el 88,88 % de todos los pobladores y el 95,28 % de todas las viviendas dispensarizadas en el territorio. El sistema de pesquisa permitió detectar el 97, 08 % de las infecciones respiratorias agudas diagnosticadas en el municipio.  Conclusiones:  el trabajo de pesquisa activa masiva comunitaria, realizado por el equipo básico de salud, estudiantes de las ciencias médicas y profesionales de varios sectores ha permitido: acceder a todas las comunidades, pesquisar diariamente a la mayoría de los pobladores y tener una precisión de la incidencia de infección respiratoria del municipio. El sistema implementado se articuló adecuadamente al programa del médico-enfermero de la familia en el nivel primario de atención.]]></p></abstract>
