Objective: To describe strategies for resuming elective activities in a network of public teaching hospitals in Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: This is a descriptive study in the form of an experience report that includes a hospital health surveillance process carried out based on observation and discussion from a network perspective. Results: The guide for resuming elective activities was structured into four topics, the second topic being divided into 11 others to detail the recommendations to be followed. The strategies and actions presented in this guide were categorized into project management stages to better visualize the path to be taken: organization, planning, implementation and monitoring. The material was published in September 2020 by the network’s central administration and is being implemented by hospitals. Conclusions: The experience report can help other organizations to define strategies for the safe resumption of their activitiesAttribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/br/infecções por coronavírusvigilância em saúde públicaprocedimentos cirúrgicos eletivoscoronavirus infectionsarticlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.22239/2317-269x.01747
