An analysis was implemented. descriptive statistics and the chi-square test was used. A total of 286 suspected cases, 148 confirmed and 79 deaths were reported, with an incidence rate of 278.31, a mortality rate of 148.55 and a fatality rate of 53.4%. The category of nursing technicians was the most affected, 62.8% (n = 93), the most relevant age group ranged from 41 - 50 years and the female gender represents 74.3% (n = 110). Only the gender variable was significantly associated with deaths from COVID-19. Oscillations between the temporal series of incidence and mortality were evidenced. It is concluded that nursing professionals in Amazonas are at a high risk of illness and death, which requires more careful attention from managers, COFEN and Regional Council to the labor field and support for the practice of nursing.
