Results: a total of 6,149 cases and 138 deaths due to COVID-19 were reported among Nursing professionals; a trend of progressive growth of cases and deaths was observed in all macro-regions. A high risk cluster for the occurrence of the disease was identified among professionals in the Amazonas, and another for mortality in the states of Pará and Amapá.
