Abstract
This article developed a critical reflection on the guidelines that permeated Primary Health Care (PHC) in the fight against COVID-19 through information that was disseminated by the health ministries of five countries. The analysis showed that PHC is extremely important, but in Brazil it needs investments to ensure the quality of the work process. The recommendations of the countries were very similar, giving the impression that Brazil was relatively aligned, but there was considerable disarticulation between the different instances, and consequently a delay in the implementation of measures that influenced the population's adherence. As strategies/tools that stood out, telemedicine and health communication emerged, showing potential for the efficient management of epidemics.
