Objective: to identify clinical-epidemiological characteristics of two cases of COVID-19 in nursing professionals and to analyze factors associated with deaths. Method: a cross-sectional study was carried with cases and deaths from COVID-19 in nursing professionals registered between April 2020 and March 2021 in Maranhão. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models were used. Results: we verified 2,116 cases of COVID-19 in nursing professionals, mostly among technicians (63.23%), females (86.48%), of black/white/brown ethnicity (48.20%), aged from 31 to 40 years (40.69%), and with a mean age of 38.11 years (SD=9.58). Systemic arterial hypertension was the main comorbidity (62.03%). The risk factors for death are age >60 years and comorbidities such as systemic arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. Conclusion: our findings can support more effective health interventions to minimize the risk of infection and damage to the health of these workers.
