Abstract
to map cases and deaths from COVID-19 in nursing professionals, estimating their incidence and fatality rates by region and federative units, and verify the existence of spatial patterns among the federative units. ecological study based on the electronic portals Observatório de Enfermagem and Enfermagem em Números, with analysis using the R 4.3.1 software. The incidence and fatality rates were calculated, and choropleth maps were constructed by region and federative units. The Global Moran Index was used to verify spatial autocorrelation. the study covered 64,451 cases of COVID-19, with a female predominance (85.2%) and a focus on nursing technicians (59.3%), with a higher percentage in the Southeast region (36.3%). Deaths were predominantly female (68%), with the North region standing out (27.9%). The fatality rate in these cases was highest in the North region (4.25%) and in the…
