São descritos os circuitos criados, a abordagem aos doentes suspeitos e uma casuística dos testes realizados para SARS-CoV-2 e dos doentes infetados. O objetivo foi analisar as características dos doentes com COVID-19, sintomas e gravidade associados e as adaptações necessárias para enfrentar a pandemia.  Material e métodos:  Os dados dos doentes foram colhidos no período de 13 de março a 25 de abril de 2020, a partir de uma base de dados onde foram registados todos os doentes com suspeita de COVID-19 que recorreram ao AP.  Resultados:  Foram realizados 1267 testes de RT-PCR para SARS-CoV-2, com 120 testes positivos (9,5%). Cerca de 26% dos doentes infetados foram internados e 70% tiveram alta. Verificaram-se 3 transferências para hospital do SNS (0,02%) e 1 óbito. Os sintomas apresentados foram variados, sendo os mais frequentes a febre, a tosse e dispneia. Cerca de 13% dos doentes com teste positivo apresentavam-se assintomáticos.  Discussão:  Os resultados obtidos estão de acordo com os dados apresentados pela Direção Geral da Saúde, mas com aumento da percentagem de testes positivos em relação ao global nacional. Existe um número significativo de doentes assintomáticos (13,08%).  Conclusão:  O AP do HCIS diagnosticou e manteve o seguimento de 120 doentes com infeção por SARS-CoV-2, tendo realizado um total de 1267 testes no período considerado, demonstrando o importante contributo da Medicina privada portuguesa para o tratamento de doentes com COVID-19.]]></p></abstract>

We review the circuits created, the approach to suspected patients and present a statistical analysis of the tests carried out for SARS-CoV-2 and infected patients. Our objective was to analyze the characteristics of patients with COVID-19, associated symptoms and severity and the necessary adaptations to face the pandemic.  Material and methods:  The data presented corresponds to the period from March 13th to April 25th, 2020, from a database where all patients with suspected COVID-19 who resorted to the ED were registered.  Discussion:  The results are in accordance with the data of the General Directorate of Health, but with an increase in the percentage of positive tests in relation to the national overall. There is a significant number of asymptomatic patients (13.08%).  Conclusion:  The ED diagnosed and followed-up 120 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, having performed a total of 1267 tests in the considered period, demonstrating the important contribution of the Portuguese private sector to the treatment of patients with COVID-19.]]></p></abstract>
