The emergence of a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, or SARS-CoV-2, against the background of coronavirus 2, causing Coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19, quickly increased into a pandemic. Given the fact that the disease is new, it is necessary to study the characteristics of the distribution and the clinical picture in persons who have had this disease. Based on the results of the practical work of the medical organization of primary health care in the context of a pandemic, analyze the distribution and clinical picture of the pathological process of COVID-19 in adult patients. The course of the disease was analyzed in the first 100 patients with confirmed COVID-19: 58 (58%) men and 42 (42%) women. In 11 (11%) patients examined by contact with a sick relative, the disease was asymptomatic; 89% had a mild course of COVID-19 with minor catarrhal symptoms. The largest group of patients who underwent COVID-19 were persons aged 30-55 years (65%): in 20% of cases, the patients were older than 65 years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a large burden falls on outpatient doctors, because 80% of patients are asymptomatic or mild. Analysis of the clinical picture, data of laboratory parameters allows to diagnose and assess the severity of the disease as early as possible.
