Aim: To describe the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients affected by COVID-19 in the state of Maranhão.

Results: Approximately 151,612 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were reported, with a slight predominance of females (55.14%), however the mortality rate was higher among the male population (61.55%). The age group most affected in relation to the contamination rate was adults aged 30 to 39 years (21%), however the death rate from COVID-19 was predominant among elderly people over 70 years of age (55.48%). Regarding the associated comorbidities, there was a greater predominance of cases with arterial hypertension (44.94%) and diabetes mellitus (31.32%). Implications: The rate of infected cases and deaths by COVID-19 in the state of Maranhão is increasing, so the results presented can support the planning of strategies to reduce cases in the target audience identified as most vulnerable.
