The sequelae of COVID-19 disease significantly impact the quality of life of people, requiring long-term longitudinal care for recovery and rehabilitation. Primary health care is fundamental in the reception, monitoring, and multi-professional follow-up of post-COVID-19 symptoms and complications. This study proposes a scoping review protocol to identify and map the care process of monitoring and multi-professional follow-up of post-COVID-19 sequelae within the scope of primary health care worldwide. This protocol was based on the Joanna Briggs Institute Manual and guided by PRISMA-ScR. Articles, theses, dissertations, and official documents searched in several databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, Web of Science, Embase, and gray literature) will be included. Two independent reviewers will organize and select studies according to inclusion and exclusion criteria using the Rayyan software. The selected publications will be organized and summarized using a checklist proposed by the PRISMA-ScR. Simple descriptive statistics will analyze the quantitative data, while thematic analysis will be used for the qualitative data. The final scoping review will present the main findings, challenges, limitations, and potential research gaps related to the care of people with post-COVID-19 sequelae.
