Epidemiological analysis of COVID-19 prevention interventions during the years of greatest spread and mortality, 2019, 2020 and 2021, were fundamental actions in understanding and evaluating the effectiveness of the measures implemented to control the spread of this disease. In Ecuador, as in the rest of the countries, these were useful for the study of how different measures and strategies affected the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in a specific population. This involved evaluating the effectiveness of interventions such as social distancing, mask wearing, vaccination and contact tracing. In the research, an epidemiological analysis of COVID-19 prevention interventions was carried out in the province of Napo, Ecuador. The study had a descriptive scope, based on a health intervention. Its design was experimental, pre-intervention and post-intervention, with a longitudinal section, and a quantitative approach. The study subjects were 104 inhabitants of the Puerto Misahuallí Rural Parish, part of the Tena Canton, belonging to the province of Napo, in Ecuador. The instrument applied was an interview. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the main clinical symptoms of the patients interviewed were fever, dry cough, anosmia and headache. Likewise, the main comorbidities presented were diabetes, high blood pressure and liver diseases. Furthermore, it was found that the bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=25; 47.16%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n=7; 13.20%) and Gram positive Staphylococcus aureus (n=4; 7.56%) were the most prevalent in the sputum samples. and pharyngeal exudates performed on patients. Finally, in the post-intervention, the interviewees agreed that the measures they applied the most during this period to prevent the spread of the disease were the use of a mask (n=45; 84.9%), the provision of alcohol at home. (n=45; 84.9%), frequent hand washing (n=40; 75.5%) and protecting the mouth and nose with the assistance of elbow flexion when coughing or sneezing (n=50; 94.3%).
