Experience report: Treats This is a descriptive experience report, obtained during the follow-up of students from the 8th, 9th and 10th semester of undergraduate nursing, who were present in the fight against the new coronavirus pandemic with riverside health teams in the interior of Amazonas, between June 2020 to July 2021. Prior to carrying out these activities, the local management set up strategies for planning the steps to be taken in the rural area. Final considerations: Through the experience with the riverside population, it was possible to know their customs, cultures, lifestyle, in addition to the difficult access to the communities, especially during the passage of a turbulent pandemic period, complemented by the time of great floods, where the homes are more difficult to access. It was also possible to establish the approximation of future health professionals with the communities, being ahead in the testing period until the immunization of riverside dwellers.
