Keywords:

Introduction: The COVID-19 epidemic has changed its characteristics as new strains appear.
Objective: To identify the demographic, clinical and epidemiological characteristics that make up the pattern of the COVID-19 epidemic in Santiago de Cuba.
Material and Methods: An analytical observational study was carried out using the 461 cases of COVID-19 in Santiago de Cuba province from October to December 2020 as the study population. Demographic, clinical and epidemiological variables were selected and the implicative statistical analysis was applied.
Results: Among the confirmed females, the category of traveler and ages between 41 and 60 years prevailed; among males, patients without a source of infection, between 19 and 40 years or 60 and more years, with fever as the main symptom, and without personal pathological antecedents were more prevalent. Asymptomatic patients predominated in children under one year of age. Those over the age of 19 were associated with travelers. In patients 19 to 40 years of age, the predominant symptom was fever; in patients aged 40 and under, those without comorbidities prevailed; and in the elderly, diabetes mellitus prevailed. Among the older adults, there were more cases with no known source of infection and male predominance. Confirmed health workers were mainly between 41 and 60 years old and asymptomatic. Confirmed travelers were mostly women over 19 years of age and asymptomatic.
Conclusions: There were changes in the behavior of the disease in the province with respect to the first wave, with displacement of the association patterns between sex and age groups.
