COVID-19 pandemic has a dynamic profile and has led to a great adaptation of professionals and health systems. Family and community physicians are responsible for providing specific health care, serving within a defined range, without distinction of age, sex, socioeconomic level to individuals, families and communities. Clinical care protocols based on scientific evidence help make decisions about patient care. Primary Health Care is the user's gateway to the system and is essential to control COVID-19 cases through preventive actions and health surveillance. The effect of COVID-19 on medical education is considerable, given the need to strengthen public health as competent human resources. A robust healthcare system is essential to provide quality responses to public emergencies. Primary Health Care has a great responsibility in this global pandemic challenge of COVID-19. Health promotion and disease prevention actions are essential, especially for risk groups. The family and community doctor is inserted in this context, being fundamental in the provision of care. The adaptation of the medical curriculum becomes urgent and necessary to respond to this challenge.
