At the end of 2019 and throughout 2020 the world faced a disease caused by the new coronavirus, leading many governments and institutions to rethink their ways of working to control this pandemic. The objective of this work was to evaluate the health protocol against COVID-19 adopted by a Higher Education Institution in Manaus, verifying the perception of the academic community, the compliance with the norms foreseen by Organs competent bodies, the main aspects adopted and the disease progression in the place. A case study was carried out with surveys through applied research using a structured questionnaire to assess the evolution of the disease, the perception of the participants, the environmental and health protocol adopted, verifying the main aspects related to the containment of the spread of this virus as well as visits to the institution to verify compliance with the rules established by the protocol, identifying the measures listed and carried out by the institution. The actions taken were positive and contributed to the control of the disease in the institution, making the academic community feel safe. A few non-conformities were observed in compliance with the protocol, and the institution should intensify the inspection. Face-to-face feedback divides opinions, with the “semi-face” mode being preferred (50% in class and 50% remote). Due to the health crisis in Manaus, it is recommended that classes be held in a completely remote manner while the numbers of cases do not return to the lowest levels observed by the authorities and the vaccination of the population does not progress as expected.
