INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological indicators and state decrees related to COVID-19 in the first three semesters of the pandemic in Santa Catarina, Brazil. METHOD: An ecological study was carried out that divided the period from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 into three semesters, portraying the epidemiological evolution of COVID-19 and its relationship with state decrees on social distancing. The content of the decrees was grouped into categories for later analysis of their repercussions. RESULTS: During the period, 1,064,044 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were recorded, the largest proportion (50.7%) of which was observed in the first semester of 2021, when there was also a greater number of restrictions (n=43), most of them adopted after an increase in the number of cases. Ten relaxations preceded the first wave of the disease and seven preceded the third. CONCLUSION: It was observed that the measures to relax social distancing were adopted early and abruptly, and that the restrictions were not implemented skillfully to prevent new waves of the disease.
